If you walk around Portland and really pay attention to the art there does seem to be a theme. There is a surprisingly large number of statues of small either male or ambiguous figures. This is just one more example (though in a different part of town as most are downtown.)
This one is comes complete with a story telling of a fake legend. It is ok though nothing special. Still it is always nice to have some art to look at at a mass transit stop and this one does that job well enough.

The Green Man of Portland is suspiciously far from being the Jolly Green Giant. It is a sculpture based on a mythological legend just for some fun. There are words and art all over this work, located at a light rail stop. It can be entertaining to read the words and look up at this hideous monster.
I walked up to the Green Man in hopes of seeing it while getting a train at the light rail stop. It was a beauty and I read the descriptions along with the art for a good five minutes. The stop can get boring at times, so this was a nice break. With the words corresponding to some art, it could even function like a short story.
The Green Man is an acclaimed citizen of Portland.
