Mr. Fangs

I was so stoked to come across my first sighting of Mr. Fangs just outside of O4W a few weekends ago. Just moseying along and there he was — plastered on a boarded up window and I was so stoked. The one I spotted was blue. Love it.
Mr. Fangs is definitely my favorite local art as I’ve really enjoyed reading about Totem and getting a bit more educated on some of Atlanta’s local artists’ work and other installations. I came across the Mr. Fangs site (
) You can get a glimpse of all of the «Flicks» of Mr. Fangs in all different colors.
I love that I’ve finally spotted Mr. Fangs in ATL. It’s kind of a game now. I can’t wait to stumble across another. Get ‘em, little ghost!

Wonderful!
When I moved to Atlanta back in 2004 I fell in love with the city’s graffiti (I came from a much smaller town.) I instantly noticed this little smiling ghost guy wondering around the city. There was always a chance no matter where I went that he might pop up. As I got to know more about the Atlanta graffiti scene over the next few years I began to respect the ghost and his creator more for their unique and thoughtful placements. I realized that within the graffiti community you have true artists, and you have douches who spred some 3 – 6 letter tag around on anything that is in front of them, including personal property. I’ve seen a lot of toughtless tagging going on around the town and Mr. Fangs is a reminder of how sometimes less is more when it comes to artistic expression. Thank you Totem.

Found out about this guy because of a project I needed to do in College, and I have been obsessed with ghost hunting since. Awesome graffiti and it always seems to change up. On an off note if anyone ever knows where you can get any merch especially stickers please send a note this way.

Mr. Fangs has always reminded of me of the little ghost from «Super Mario World.» And any Mario reference gets an A+ for me.
This guy’s art (and any other graffiti art like it) is a total welcome from stupid tags. **Yes, you can write your name all funky. Cool. I figured that out when I was in 9^th grade. And you’re, like, 27 …**
On a different subject, I miss the graffiti of the pig getting drunk that was in several places around Grant Park about 4 years ago. Mr. Fangs and drunk pig would have been BFFs.

Yet another fantastic piece of work by Totem. A lot of his work is around town and he can also be commissioned. He did the logo for my best friend. His best work was the Bob Marley mural that was at the Krog Tunnel a couple of years ago. His one of Gregory Peck was my favorite until the idiots in the area had to put their personal crappy tags on it. I got to watch him put it up. So beautiful and right for the times that we’re living.

I like the guys style.

Glad that Atlanta has it’s own graffiti meme. However, it’s actual name is the Geist, not Mr.Fangs. The artist mentioned it’s name in an interview I read several years ago.

I love this little guy. He’s always in a good mood even if I’m not.
Let’s see some more of you Mr Fangs

I think Mr. Fangs is a pretty cool guy. eh is on random buildings and doesn’t afraid of anything…
Seriously though, Mr. Fangs is awesome. He is everywhere. There should be a database of all of the sightings. Funny enough, he is hardly seen outside of the perimeter.

Seeing one of these guys around lifts my spirits and puts me in a good place.

This little guy is pretty famous on the city streets. It’s kind of fun to suddenly spot him on the side of a post or on the back of a building as you go by!

Any sighting of the geist – the mischievous smile, the forward momentum, the overall sense of fun and silliness – is enough to brighten my day.

«Mr. Fangs» is cool, but no love like the Blah girl. Now Blah, she’s graffiti at it’s finest hour.
(Blah girl is on a sign by CSX on boulevard/​the Stacks and a few other places around town)

Dang! I had no idea he was so popular.
We call him the chinese ghost. Wish there were more of him.

As part of Atlanta’s desperate and flailing quest to become a Real Big City, one area where we’re definitely falling short is the «awesome graffiti» sector of the economy. There are a handful of nice murals around town, although I will forever mourn the loss of the awesome zombies over on Dekalb Ave. Mr. Fangs here is the closest thing Atlanta has to a Graffiti Superstar, and is one of the few tags I recognize every time I see it (the only other one I can think of offhand is «the blah girl»). Mr. Fangs is always kind of lurking around town, at least in the cool parts, and he’s kind of a combination between a welcome and a warning. «Welcome to Cabbagetown/​Reynoldstown — Here Be Hipsters.»
Casper can suck it. Mr. Fangs is Atlanta’s Friendliest Ghost.

Always dig it. GG Totem.

In college did a report about graffiti-​I believe Mr. Fangs is actually known as the geist.
I really enjoy seeing him all over town as well and have noticed the decline of appearances.
