These wood blocks are found on the bottom of utility poles in the Glenview neighborhood (how is there any space left between the gnomes, the tiny dog paintings and the alien/kitty cat/robots?). Locals have dubbed these the “hipster animals.” Rumors abound (okay, it was mentioned on the Glenview facebook page) that these have also been spotted in Jack London Square. These seem to only be clustered on Wellington Street, near Vista and La Cresta. Artist is unknown.
