The man who wears signs

The man who wears signs
"Kraken Unique"

So, there are questions about this and here is the explanation:

At the door, you see an elderly character who rides a bike around covered with signs that make no sense. In this shot, he's wearing one on his back that says Kraken Unique. A few years ago, signs on his bike made nonsensical reference to Kraken Unique and also to a bakery, or donuts, or something. I can't find the photo. In both cases, I didn't get a decent shot because he was moving fast and I struggled to get my camera/phone ready. I think he probably has schizotypal personality disorder. Before you ask me to explain that, as well, take a look: psychcentral.com/disorders/schizotypal-personality-disorder

Here is the first time I saw him, 2015: www.ipernity.com/doc/1227338/42991610/in/album/751356

I don't understand the photo, the title, your note or the google translation, but I do like the overall effect!

I've just added a description (there is no translation, because it's a nonsensical phrase).

Thanks, Andy!

See the description I've added - and I think this sign was only in his back. He moved so fast I didn't get a good look! ;-)

Thank you, John!

Not only that, KRAKEN unique! Maybe I should start using that phrase in place of Wow and Fabulous and so on. Thanks!

Very much so. He's just what is informally called eccentric. I would say very, very eccentric, up quite a few levels from just odd, yet not crazy. It's a delicate balance, you know...

Thank you, Marj!
