A Love Letter For You

Well known or not, I'm a big fan of graffiti art when its properly done (not this tagging garbage you see everywhere). I'm an especially big fan of Banksy (he even featured my doppelganger's photo on his website many years ago when I was across the pond) and I've recently come across another artist whose fan base has been bolstered by yours truly. His name is Steve Powers and if you've been to Philadelphia the past few months you've probably seen some of his murals.

The project is titled 'A Love Letter For You' and is essentially ~50 love-themed murals on rooftops and buildings throughout Philly with an old-school signage twist. It's not the graffiti you're used to seeing and I'm enamored with it to no end.




He's also made a book about the project and is having a release party this weekend complete with tattoo-shop takeover and guided tour of said murals just in time for Valentine's Day. Whether or not I make it down there will depend heavily on the weather and the company willing to join me, but for any interested parties in the Philly area here's the info:
