Stickman by Bob Elbert, University of Iowa

Goals of the Stick Man Project:

You've seen these little guys in art classes. I'd like have this guy visit as many campuses as possible within the next year. Before the next symposium we can have a slide show about his travels and the great times or trouble he gets into. The images will also be a great addition to the UPAA Annual Book.

This project should bring out a lot of creativity and result in a unique collection. If you are interested in taking part in the Stick Man Project or want more information, please contact me directly at: jdusen@brockport.edu

If there is a specific time of year you would like him on your campus, I will try to get him there for you.

August 8, 2008: At Radford University Stick Man posed for "NO. Don't Jump!". This concept came from my student workers who wanted to do a CSI shot of the aftermath of him falling from the top of our tallest building. This is the main lawn of our campus from our biggest dorm, Muse.

August 12, 2008: Here is stick man right after arrival from Bob. I have to say he was a bit tired so I let him sit back and watch me work at my desk. He looks like he is day dreaming about the good times hanging out with those  miniature babes at Bob's place.
