bad signs.

these are a few shots from my wanderings this past weekend. i've always been drawn to graffiti as an artform, but lately i've been more fascinated by the written word in public spaces especially when ironic, nonsensical, pithy or just plain strange. this kind of dialog seems to go far beyond marking one's territory like an alleycat, the makers of said signs had something to say, whether it be poetic or ridiculous.





there are tons of words like this in and around detroit, i want to really focus on documenting a good amount of them, as they are quite transient, often painted over.
