This is part of a series. I took inspiring quotes and put them up on the streets. Hopefully the average passerby will be inspired or confused.

I appreciate the positive feedback from everyone... thanks.
I like putting up designs with content that people can really react or relate to..


On a technical note, I was quite suprised that the first line turned out so well, considering there are huge chunks of concrete missing from that section of the wall. I noticed how bad it was while I was spraying, and thought it would all just blur to shit... but now it looks cool, placed on top of the crud.

I like the other one better (carpe diem). I know you've never seen these before, but it reminds me of the CitiBank's "live richly" ad campaign that's still active in Chicago: http://www.citi.com/citigroup/showcase/liverichly.htm
