Waldo beckons from the doorway of the art gallery, next to a scene from the film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) in silhouette. on the right, Leatherface can be seen wielding a chainsaw, probably the same one from that tragic massacre.

Waldog #59
Found this stray hiding behind the veterinarian office. i went to pet him, but i got shocked.
It's Woof!

Waldo #4
Waldo has traded his classic red and white stripes for the purple and gold of the minnesota vikings. remember to look both ways before you cross the street, or throw a pass.

i sure hope that's a football he's holding.

this one was hard to spot (look in the center of the frame). when i went to take pictures on the water's edge, i saw a familiar face studying me from the other side of the river. i was recently just able to visit that other side for a closeup:

Waldo #36

here's a picture of the mill from the back, and...hold on, what's that over there?
enhance.

is that who i think it is?
enhance.

Waldo #28
to my surprise i spotted this camouflage Waldo, patiently waiting for a high-five. it was difficult, but i was finally able to get a few pictures that were good enough to confirm that this is 28.

Waldo #0
The OG Waldo, smoking a totally legal substance in this state, all the way back in 2019, long before the current campaign of waldo tags. the original is notable for being a chalk drawing, unlike the new ones which are all carefully painted.

The OG Waldo (2025)
former smoker

found in an alleyway, the artist used a crack in the wall to make the web for this one-of-a-kind swinging Spiderman to hang from.
if you look closely, there are a lot of similarities between this and the Waldos, as far as the materials used, the style of painting, and the subjects always being American pop culture references, including this next one:

Mr. Peanut in his natural alleyway habitat. the artist again utilizes the existing physical surroundings to make something wholly new. this time, it's a water pipe protruding from the building acting as Mr. Peanut's trademark cane. i think it's fair to assume that this is the same artist that did Spiderman.
this is street art that interacts with its surroundings in a very clever way.
