Accompany Me

The Letter D
Demographic

Inspired by Geoff Lupo's own works, this was kind of a little public test to see who is actually paying attention.

Posted about 30 of these around town, and sold nearly 50 paper clips. Limited one per customer.

The Letter M
Month Of May
There's an old abandoned buidling in Cincinnati where I've seen several homeless people set up sleeping spots. The space is massive, lonely, and incredible blank. I wanted to do something meaningful for them. This is the only thing I could think of.

Sixty-three 8.5x11 prints pasted on brick wall. The letters themselves are hand drawn with a thin sharpie pen through a stencil.

The Letter P
Paper Wall
Moved into a new apartment with 30 foot ceilings... needed some kind of big ass artwork. Took two 15'x5' sheets of plywood, pasted prints, then slapped on random paints, stains, oils, etc.

The Letter S
Sometimes People Like Different Things
Part of the 'Series of Saigon Situations', these leave behind prints were scattered throughout Vietnam, primarily among airliners. The aim was to encourage acceptance of people's behavior, habits, and so on. Specially targetted towards annoying tourists.

The Letter W
What A Pair
People like xeroxed kittens. But, Rahmin Eslami and I love them. These two little guys are meant to resemble him (the one with the cuddly brown coat) and me (the pasty sucker on the right).
