was checking out wooster collective today and was surprised to see an old friend represented in their ongoing “my working space” image collection. evidently he put a book out in december. it’s an interesting mix of children’s book and street art monograph. it’s sweet and gritty at the same time. i love it. think it’s brilliant. his name is mike de feo (mentioned quite recently here by coincidence), and though your first reaction might be “never heard of him” it’s a good possibility you’re already familiar with some of his better known handiwork. i’d never been to his site and was thrilled to see the amount of work he’s been pumping out through the years. (loved these!) anyhow old friend’s who lost touch, like myself, and strangers alike might enjoy a stroll through his site. as for his book, titled alphabet city click “read more” to see a couple sample pages.

if you’d like to know more about the book or pick it up online it’s available via the new museum shop.
