Tracking Reflectorman

Who is this guy?

He's known as Reflectorman, aka Stickman and his territory so far includes at least Philadelphia and NYC that I'm aware of right now. But it seems that recently, he's been generating a wave of interest as various bloggers, newspapers, and photobloggers have been taking pictures of locations of his known appearances for some time now.

For all I know, I'm late to the party but it seems from what I'm reading that there's been a flurry of activity recently in terms of people posting images of this little guy and so I thought it'd be neat to try and track the locations of them, even if someone else has already.

After reading the article on The Clog today and then going back over the previous articles, I've started looking online for more information. It's limited, but I'll try to post what I have.

So this is what I've got so far and it's a collaboration of my own pictures and sightings as well as others.

These are mine.

Steve of Dovate drops in with a couple of comments with a few other locations.

Have you got pictures of Philly Reflectorman online that aren't in this list? Please feel free to drop a comment (or an email) with a link (and an intersection, please) and I'll add your sighting here.

(P.S. - There's a great Flickr group, >>STI(C)KMAN<<, with tons of shots of conventional and non-conventional Stickman sightings from all over the area, many from New York.)

(P.S.S. - Based on a comment left by this person on a sighting, by checking his profile and seeing he's from Medellin, Columbia we may one day start getting images from Columbia of Stickman.)

(I created a Philadelphia Stickman Flickr page if anyone is interested in pooling photos.)
