Cat_Lanta: Interactive Street Art One street artist in Atlanta has set out to create an interactive art project. He paints small, one-of-a-kind Cats and leaves them hidden all over Atlanta. He tweets pictures with very little context and his Atlanta followers will run to find them and be part of his on-going story.

Oh, Atlanta, when you do things like this, I miss you.

One of my Christmas presents to my wife was a really limited edition (I think about thirty were made) Catlanta hoodie. I have yet to find one of those little cats. They disappear quick.

I love my Catlanta!

My boyfriend managed to get one for us from the GSU library. We spent that morning refreshing Facebook and Twitter waiting for the cats to go out. He works in the library and immediately recognized the location of one of the cats. He saw multiple people running across campus searching for them.

I saw my first Catlanta near the Krog Street tunnel.

Never fails to make me smile.

Interesting stuff. Reminds me of making little things in woodshop back in high school.

Good music on the video, too. I wish I knew the artist.

I found this a lot more accessible than his previous work, Cat_Lantis.

Ah, seriously, I miss ATL.

Also, this reminds me of Atlanta's other famous woodcut-street-art-guy: EVEREMAN.

I have a few magnets at my desk here in NYC. One work friend just moved to Portland. He took one of my magnets with him. ATL rolls out hard! :)
