Coolidge is a street artist whose specialty is whimsical spray-paintings of mostly cuddly animals: Boston terriers, My Little Pony characters, T. Rexes, sea turtles, robots, parachuting pink piggies, sanctified bunny rabbits with halos around their heads, Ralphie from A Christmas Story in his bunny suit. You tend to find these in blighted areas of the Inner Loop – on concrete pillars and the walls of crumbling warehouses – and they invariably bring cheer to otherwise dismal cityscapes and a smile to your heart.
