Replaced Bricks Tour

There are tons and tons of bricks on campus, a near innumerable amount--even though last year someone claimed to have counted them all--but if you happen to look down at the right moment between classes, you may just find a replaced brick.

It seems to be a long-standing tradition (if the dates on a few bricks are to be trusted), and most of them are tolerated and left alone. Of course, I have found a handful of them (really good ones, too), that have ended up going missing. Today, I finally made myself scan and survey as much as I could, and here is the trove of what I cataloged. All of these were photographed Jan. 8, unless noted differently. Sorry in advance for the length, as well as the orientation issues of some pictures.

Silver apple

Noticed while talking to an old friend today. It's a real apple.

Bow

Mid-way through last quarter, I was walking around campus between classes, and found a Dalek stencil just beneath the PAC. About a week later, my friends and I were in the library at night, and we'd never gone in the 80s-looking elevator, so we did. What we found was a Minotaur.
It wasn't until just recently that I figured that both were presumably made by the same artist. I now refer to this artist as Bow--so called because of the little black bow on or near the works I've seen.

Handicap-ABLE!

Bike-Shark sticker


Lzr Mtn

Lzr Mtn, or Lazer Mountain has been doing a lot of sticker / stencils on campus lately. Back at the beginning of December, I stumbled across two of his pieces on South campus. It seems as though the stencil was created on a computer or photographed, and then printed onto a really glossy paper / sticker.
