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.

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”…

Removal of the dustjacket reveals an irrides­cent hardback cover, blind embossed, with iconography pertaining to the gallery and its artists. Within the book, the chronological cataloguing of various events is split into sections by smaller pages which serve to make the chapter divisions more evident. Interviews with the various artists also sit on smaller pages within the book, employing different stocks and coloured inks.- Iain has also designed books for the likes of Ron English, José Parla, DELTA, WK Interact, and more. Thanks to Jerrod for the heads up.
