Candy corn cones on the streets of DC

A local artist known as ‘Diabetik’ has been doing guerrilla art installations of candy corn around the city. You don’t want to eat them, however – they’re painted traffic cones or stickers. You can look at the full set of candy corn shots on Flickr. I’ve included my two favorites after the jump.

I love the way this one becomes a part of the other standard barricades. It makes me think of a wild animal trying to blend in and not quite succeeding.

I don’t find this very visually interesting but the description says “these were put out in a pile, somebody came along and set them all upright.” I love that someone interacted with the “installation,” I think that’s a fun aspect of street art.
