i love you. severely. and i can't think of a better way to tell you than spraying it all over the city. some people see street art as a nuisance, an eye sore. i can't ever get enough of it. what other channel can you use to reach such a broad audience? and if you do it wisely, you need no one's permission.
i know nothing about the street artist who is all over nyc w/ the simple phrase "i love you." to be honest, i've actually never done any research on them. i've just accepted their campaign, no questions asked. the three simple words make me happy, and really that's all i need. the cursive writing, the plain presentation are perfect. the actual phrase is the artwork. it is whatever the beholder wants it to be. and i love it. and of course you too.
