Spray paint graffiti lettering with fangs illustrated inside the letters

A subtle, but well executed illustration of faces within the lettering. I just wish the blue was more saturated.

I Belong

March 24, 2019

Large spray painted lettering on a brick wall saying "I belong to God" with incorrect punctuation

I think that the quote marks are for emphasis and that this is indeed a question. It’s a long piece stretching over 50 feet. The lettering — especially the G in God — reminds of me of director Tim Burton’s work. I guess we all just want to belong, but that we don’t like being told to whom.

The Only Magic

February 16, 2019

black sticker with white text saying, "the only magic I still believe in is love"

Belated, obligatory, Valentine’s day post. I’m not sure of the quote/text origin. At least it has some custom lettering (I think, maybe it’s just an off the internet typeface). I like the “A”, like the “O”, don’t like the “B” as it’s really just a “3” and a little too sci-fi for the rest. Kerning could be better too, but…sigh…that’s a lost art these days.
