Stick Figures in Peril — on a Hand-Embroidered Quilt!
Plus follow-ups on several other recent Inconspicuous Consumption posts.
As you may recall, The Art of Noticing impresario Rob Walker is mildly obsessed with “Cuidado Man,” which is his name for the stick figures that appear on various “Caution: Slippery Floor” signs. Rob’s Cuidado Man fixation is what led to my broader examination of stick figures in peril, which has been a running theme here at Inconspicuous Consumption for the past several months.
Rob’s wife, E, recently presented him with a spectacular birthday gift: a handmade quilt adorned with various iterations of Cuidado Man and other imperiled stick figures. You can see some of the embroidered squares above, and here are a few more photos:
Is that amazing or what? E is clearly super-talented (and super-thoughtful!). You can see more pics over at The Art of Noticing. Happy birthday, Rob!
Rob’s quilt is the first of several items I have for you today, all of them following up on recent Inconspicuous Consumption posts. Here are the others:
