stikman (stylized lowercase) is a pseudonymous U.S.-based street artist. Active since 1992, the artist is best known for his eponymous humanoid stikman figures. These pieces exhibit a wide range of styles and media. Some, reflecting the figure's name, are constructed of wooden sticks. Other pieces are made of paper or other materials. Some are small, semi-circular glass "bubbles." The most durable works are those made of a linoleum-like substance embedded in the asphalt of roadways (in a manner similar to the mysterious Toynbee tiles).

Although the stikman depictions dominate, other images, such as peace signs, occasionally appear alongside the stikman figures. The artist also has an affinity for creating cairns and assemblages of found objects.

While most pieces appear to be more aesthetic than political, some of the works comment on current events, including the struggle of refugees and the climate crisis.

Although known primarily for works placed on the street, the artist has also been featured in gallery exhibitions.
