Flowers popping up

Michael De Feo came to town recently. I first saw his stuff along the sidewalks of Manhattan where he is more commonly known as 'the Flower Guy' because the flower logo he puts up around there.

For one thing its cool to see somebody's work that I recognize from street art books start popping up around New Orleans (much like Banksy and Swoon). On another level what he does is a good reminder of the effectiveness of good design and simple methods like screen printing and wheat pasting. It seems everytime I go out now I see another flower. A few of them are boldly placed but for the most part they're just around, simply and unobtrusively present.

Its obvious the dude came to NOLA to get work done. And like a lot of people who come here these days he was able to do that and still have fun.

Thanks Mike
