3 more holes. I’ll be back

1- South Cascadilla half a block East from Cayuga. This is a mosaic of OLD GREENY, the aquatic monster of Cayuga Lake, by local Ithaca bandit “AaAaAaA”, with a bonus of lil’ greeny by “Eagle Eye”. The Ithaca bandit I trained is on IG AT ithacaBandito

There is a blue cat trinket I made hidden up against the bridge behind it for u to take.

2 and 3- Women’s Opportunity Center on N. Tioga. House tiles by Snow Pond Ceramics

I’ll be back in a few weeks. I’m in love with your city and someone in it 😉 😘

So pretty! Can't wait to see them in person. Will you be offering anymore training?

u/BuffaloPotholeBandit 17d ago

I’m always open to helpers, especially if they are motivated to fill holes on their own after I leave. Get in my DMs

Oooh Ole Greeny is so beautiful! Edit: These are all great!

But wait a minute...is there a Bandit romance going on?

Thank you! I accidentally dropped it while I was moving it inside and so I ended up making it twice.

I love these! I think of you every time I drive up Kline 😅 and think about how one would fill potholes there since it's such a dangerous street.

These are so beautiful!! Thank you for the delight!!

I saw someone mention low traction surfaces, and it does get very icy in ithaca. Would you consider adding some gravely rocks to some of the open spaces to give these pieces more durability and traction? I think it would also help your art last longer. Just a thought - love what you’re doing!

Let’s do an “empowering men” one too! ❤️💯✊🏼 I love the creativity 💯

u/BuffaloPotholeBandit 17d ago

It was in front of the women’s opportunity center, and I asked them what their catchphrase was so I put it in

u/Loud-Spare-3269 17d ago

That makes sense. Still would love to see one Empowering Men also ❤️✊🏼 if possible. Thanks for making Ithaca a more fun loving beautiful space 🌟

u/BuffaloPotholeBandit 17d ago

You can fill one on your own! Be empowered

u/armahillo Northeast 16d ago

If you ever wanted to post instructions on how to do this here on this sub, maybe by posting progress pics of the next one you fill, go for it!

What happens if local law enforcement sees ya'll working?

u/BuffaloPotholeBandit 14d ago

Smile and wave.

u/Avgirl10 14d ago

That only works for penguins.

It was not meant to offend. Ithaca sometimes has its pendulum swung strongly in certain directions… that’s the only reason why I said that. I love what you are doing, and appreciate your work 💯
