Igor Kupec's Typographical Street Art



Graffiti tags are not street art; they are signatures that just say "I was here (and got away with vandalism." Igor Kupec of Košice, Slovakia, is a government bureaucrat but has a creative mind. He noticed the tags proliferating through his city, and decided to turn them into something amusing and thought-provoking. He added typography to the tagged walls that gave meaning to the signatures, like in the picture above. Kupec has turned vandalized walls into job applications, petitions, checks, volunteer sign-up sheets, letters, and more. Read about Kupec's project and see a gallery of the finished works at his website. (via Bored Panda)
