This distinctive electric purple stencil was noticed on a wall in Middletown by Illicit Exhibitions, a blog about street art, two weekends ago:

A giraffe skeleton? A horse? At any rate it's probably no longer up, since the city's police chief is pretty scrupulous about painting over graffiti.

What does it mean, and who's the street artist behind it? Speculate here, or email illicitexhibitions@gmail if you've got information.
