To celebrate the release of the “A Love Letter For You Brick Valentines On The Philly Skyline” book by Free News Projects, a series of events is taking place in Philadelphia. Here’s the lowdown from the artist:
I am taking over the Northern Liberties tattoo shop (Olde City Tattoo) for a week, and the only artwork that will be on offer will be all Steve Powers, all week long. All your favorite icons, punchlines, poignant reminders of the futility of life, hilarious illustrations of our inadequacies, True depictions of true love from the Love Letter project, and of course, PIGEONS. Its all here, it’s cheap, its permanent. No, I’m not tattooing, no skills. I will, however, sign your arm and let one of the skilled pros on staff at Todd’s shop re-ink it, fair enough?
There are also plans for a book signing on Saturday, February 13th at Exit Philadelphia Skateshop next door, further details available at the project blog: aloveletterforyou.com. If you’re interested, scope out some of the 40 flash pages (that’s right, forty pages) they’re offering at the shop here.
