On the back says: ‘Keep or Rehide’ ‘WPG Rocks’. Just found there is a fcebook group, artists hide them to be discovered. Not an English speaker so I am not sure if that ‘keeps’ means that I could bring it with me, so I rehide it to be found by another person :)
Found it on Florida keys. This is the back:
I remember this being a thing in the UK during COVID. The kids loved finding the rocks and also painting them and hiding them.
This is so cool
One of our favourite hobbies here in South Australia

Sorry, let me expand. The poster asked if it was really littering if it was a rock(but painted). I meant to use graffiti on a wall as a similar example. Unpainted rock=unpainted wall. Painted rock=graffiti.
Yeah, mate, fuck wildlife, amirite?!?
It can be super cool! But also it is littering/vandalism. The line between art and uncool is very different depending on the person.
I mean is it really littering when it’s a rock?
A rock with a coat of plastic/acrylic/etc on it. Is it really graffiti when the wall was empty?
Differing opinions on it.
Hmm, I wouldn’t have thought there was before seeing yours.
Could you elaborate a bit on graffiti example? I can’t quite follow, I thought you mean that an empty wall may also be seen as a graffiti, but I am not sure if that’s a correct understanding
Sorry, let me try again. The poster asked if it was really littering if it was a rock(but painted). I meant to use graffiti on a wall as a similar example. Unpainted rock=unpainted wall. Painted rock=graffiti.
Well, in regard to the visuals I would say that a painted rock doesn’t harm much (although I’d also say that not every graffiti is bad either)
But your point about the paint being a source of plastic pollution seems more important. Maybe a biodegradable paint like oil (I’m sure not every pigment is biodegradable though) or chalk would do
