“Following my post on Colossal Media I came across an old email from Faris that he sent me after he got back from New York. It had this picture attached with has been painted onto a concrete blocked out window. It was on North 6th, Williamsburg, New York City but I wonder if it’ll have the staying power of some of it’s older relatives? – Sam Roberts, UK”

Thanks Faris for the picture.

Sam Roberts has a great blog on signage in the UK. Here is a post he made this month on the New York sign company Colossal Media. Check out his brickads blogspot! “The art of large scale sign writing lives on in New York, USA through the work of Colossal Media. A full gallery of their work is available on their site but here are a couple of highlights, one old school style and one very much of the modern era. These ads must stand out dramatically from all the usual outdoor work that resident New Yorkers are exposed to. Great work, check out the rest! – Sam Roberts, UK”
