A Love Letter For You is an unprecedented public art project by Steve Powers (ESPO) and The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program here in Philly. Love Letter is literally a love letter painted on the walls facing the Market/Frankfort El and will encompass 50 painted walls between 63rd and 45th street on Market Street. I have the privilege of seeing this work everyday on my commute to and from work, and in my opinion this is one of the coolest things to happen in Philly. It goes without saying that ESPOs work is ridiculous, but this collaboration goes a step further by opening a sign school and shop that will provide training for area youth and free signage for businesses. A full community takeover. Must feel good considering this is where he grew up.

Three Potato Four is one of those gems that you want to keep to yourself, but have to share because it’s so great. I love found things, old type & signage, furniture, etc. and their collection is just ridiculous.
So much good stuff, I want it all! You can also check out the collecting duo - Janet Morales & Stu Eli – and their love of collections on their blog, Facebook, and follow them on Twitter.

Lawrence Otoole’s Philadelphia Ghost Sign Project is a visual record of ghost signs and faded advertisements in and around the greater Philadelphia area. To me, one of the coolest aspects of the city’s history. Some of the chosen word combinations are interesting, “Coke, Coal, Fuel, Oil”, “Money, Luggage, Clothing, Watches, Diamonds”…

Really impressive work and online presence from Hornall Anderson. Featured here are some of the assets from their latest effort for the launch of Google’s G1. They also maintain a blog, which is unique in that it is timeline-based, horizontal format, and all flash (not to mention they just posted about Philly!)
