A Love Letter For You

Again, I’m so late to the game but I love this public arts project in West Philadelphia. Artist Stephen Powers (a.k.a. ESPO) painted murals above the SEPTA line along Market Street from 63rd to 45th in a public arts project called “A Love Letter For You.” Each mural reads as a love story to West Philly from residents of the neighborhood.

The typography is so beautiful and I love how some are very site specific. (Like “I’ll Shape Up” on the side of a building that houses a barber shop.) See all 50 murals on the official site gallery. (via Pixels & Arrows)
