LOVE this mural project, called "A Love Letter For You," in Philadelphia spearheaded by Philadelphia-born artist Stephen Powers. Powers, who grew up in Philadelphia and used to use the neighborhood walls for graffiti, is now an artist with his work shown in places like the Venice Biennale (one of my favorite events ever) and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.
Many of the messages and designs reference the original signs that might have been painted in those locations, like this one next to a barber shop.
Made to be viewed from the El train, the blog about the project captions each photo with a description of what train each mural can best be viewed from.
Who can resist a love letter?
