#OWS Street Art: The 'Can You Guess What the Occupest Is Doing?' Edition
(click to enlarge)I came across this odd bit of OWS art scrawled in blue ballpoint pen on a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper taped to a wall of an old warehouse building about to be demolished. I took a few shots, filed it under 'look at it later' and here I am still wondering what the little masked Occubrat is doing.
Is he starting a fire? Is he throwing urine or feces?Or is he about to lob a grenade?
You decide.

The pictured occubrat is pasting up a poster, eliminating the air pockets with a roller. The quote "Even the tourists are 'artists' these days!" suggests that the occubrat is from out-of-town. HS is a girl, right handed.
Don't know what PB stands for. Parsons Brinkerhoff? Pitney Bowes? Pottery Barn? The atomic symbol for lead? Police Bepartment?
Eyeballing nearby posters might give other clues.
Bunk,
I also noticed a hair sample stuck to the tape. It appears to be dark, coarse and wavy or curled. I suggest it be collected for DNA profiling.
I think this OWS fan girl was probably juiced up on the local $7.00 coffees, while doodling away in a cafe for hours undistracted by the outside world before her flight back to nowhereistan.
PB? Paul Begala?
Perky Breasts? Nah. Probably Bulimic.
(Bulimia makes me wanna puke.)
Thank you, Miss Infidel and good call on Parsons Brinkerhoff, Bunk Strutts. I’m betting the “PB” DOES refer to Parsons Brinckerhoff, which is a construction firm.
It looks like occupest is throwing the contents of a martini glass which could be a reference to the Missing Foundation band/movement of the 1980’s which was anti-gentrification and, like the occutard movement, very anti authority. On a personal note, I always suspected the inverted martini glass logo of Missing Foundation was inspired by the muted trumpet graffito from Thomas Pynchon’s, The Crying of Lot 49.
