Streets: ESPO Love Letter to Brooklyn

September 24, 2011 butterfly 1 Comment

Philadelphia artist Stephen Powers (ESPO) and his team have been putting the finishing touches on “Love Letter to Brooklyn” they painted on a Macy’s parking garage in downtown Brooklyn.

The project was partially designed by Powers before it was painted and evolved with feedback from the community, including long-time Brooklyn resident David Villorente. The painted lines were inspired by conversations he and his team had with people passing by the parking garage : “Turn to me”, “I see eternity” “Onward, upward,” “I was nurtured here,” “Born busy as a Brooklyn bound B” and “Euphoria, Is you for me?”

Some pics of the work in progress:

Steve Powers has additional upcoming projects in downtown Brooklyn, so watch this space.

Da Mental Vaporz at Galore Festival 2011

September 5, 2011 butterfly 1 Comment

The French graffiti crew Da Mental Vaporz painted this massive mural for the Galore Festival in Copenhagen. Featuring Bom.k, Blo, Brusk, Dran, Gris, Jaw, Kan and Sowat.

The mural is a satyrical reference to unscrupulous people who are willing to deface street art walls for profit. The DMV also incorporated a tribute to Kase 2 (RIP), as well as Copenhagen landmarks, including the infamous Christiania market, where you can find anything.
