The trash bags with legs would be a good Halloween costume - inexpensive too. (That is probably not the point the artist is making though.)

Urban guerrilla street artists seek to shake things up, force you to take a second look, change your preconceptions about your everyday surroundings. These ten artists use the streets as an untapped setting for personal artwork, call attention to social issues and question what kind of behavior is ‘appropriate’ in elevators, subways and retail stores.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"> Mark Jenkins</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/4B33F312-B4FD-46F5-99D5-F17B6E60FBFD" alt="mark-jenkins-3" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/655716D6-CBC1-4435-9208-2FAA93E7BCEA" alt="mark-jenkins-2" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/2BE705E6-0FC8-4822-BE8F-BB783B54132C" alt="mark-jenkins-1" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/C4109648-7023-4518-8103-449BEC1B0671" alt="mark-jenkins-4" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/9B93E362-91CF-4F0F-8108-250B046B96D8" alt="mark-jenkins-5" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><H4>Curbside Cabinet Trojan Horse</H4></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/BFC40D6F-7F55-4E7E-886D-39ED3EACB56A" alt="curbside-cabinet" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/06/14/20-subversive-works-of-urban-guerrilla-street-art/"><P>It seemed like an especially lucky curbside find: a nice, modern, brand-new cabinet left on the sidewalk for somebody to claim and take home.
