This is Not Graffiti

When I was touring around the city looking for good examples of public art and trying to come up with a theme for our projects, I kept coming across buildings (particularly all up and down Ponce) whose owners had commissioned graffiti artists to paint signs on the buildings. The signs for the buildings or advertisements were all done in graffiti-style, but they were clearly something that traditional graffiti is often not: purposeful.

I really enjoyed seeing artists incorporation of their own style into traditional building signs. I feel like it gave all of the buildings I viewed a sense of uniqueness and originality. I even found an old Kodak building whose sign had been painted long long ago!
