Traditional Labor Based Folk Art in the Modern World: Volume One

I'm making no significant statement with this post. just a mere observation.
When I lived in San Diego, a lot of the bigger jobs we would work on I would consistently run across little face portraits that the different workers would draw in random areas. They all had they're specialties but for someone reason the nose always got drawn into a dick. Dick faced mr. magoon lookin guys. Strange for sure, but I wanted to see if the phenomenon had spread to the north.
One random day while dropping off some materials, I decided to add a catalyst to my little experiment. I drew eyes and mouth of the face on the right and pushed that first domino into action.
And now wouldn't little gabriel know it..... WILDFIRE!
Porta-Portraits. Possible dicknose senerios.
I even discovered the rarely seen, post-modern-interior-media-based-abstract labor based folk art.
