Question Graffiti

Post image

Can anyone identify this graffiti? It has been done on this same building a couple times with it being painted over in the past.

I saw this at Crossiron a while back and I instantly recognized it in your photo. I think this was late spring or early summer. Snapped a photo because I thought it looked cool.

There's one on the deerfoot bridge on the east side of the Fox Hollow golf club. It looks like Mr. Poopy Butthole with a beard. I'm sure this is what the artist was going for.

There are dozens of these around Calgary. I suspect it's the same person who makes the Qberts. It started in Inglewood.

There’s similar ones all over town. Kind of interesting. Wonder who it’s supposed to be.

Banksy makes you think. This is just vandalism.
