Kudos to Mark Jenkins for making some of the most charmingly interesting street art I've seen in ages. With masterful craftsmanship, he's populated the streets of New York and D.C. with life-size babies made from nothing but tape. Jenkins fittingly calls the project Storker, the name he's also assigned to the race of clear creatures. They can be found climbing city streetlights, signs, billboards and trees, as well as campaigning roadside in Virginia, where the translucent tots have apparently launched a gubernatorial campaign. Jenkins is urging any big-hearted passers-by to take the babies home for proper love and breast-feeding, after which he swears they'll grow to be full-sized tape men and women. Check his site for the locations of future baby drops, so you can see them in person before they're all adopted away.
