Alphabet City: Out on the Streets

Artist Michael De Feo (aka The Flower Guy) has plastered his painted flowers in cities all over the world, 15,000 in the streets of Manhattan alone. Alphabet City: Out On the Streets is his first book. It's a vibrant body of work inspired by the acute observational skills of children who would stop on the street and point out De Feo's art to their parents, while he was in the act of installing it. Ten years of witnessing this phenomenon, the arrival of his first child Marianna, and the fact that many of his street artist friends were also having children were the drivers behind this unique publication: De Feo's alphabet presented in the context of the streets of Manhattan, a book for both adults and children.
