FOTR: Stephen Powers aka ESPO
Posted: December 11, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: a love letter to you, espo, icy signs, stephen powers
Stephen Powers aka Espo came to be one graffiti’s great heroes in the last 15 years. Originally coming to people’s attention with his in your face approach to painting city roll down gates it wasn’t long before his work was moving from the streets to the galleries.
In the pop world, Espo’s work can be seen on Kurt Vile’s latest album (one of my personal faves), Mf Doom & Jneiro Jarel’s JJ Doom album, and a little closer to home we asked Espo for our very own logo a few years back!
With his ‘Love Letter’ series going global in the early 2000s, his latest project focuses on hand painted signage that offers both nostalgic and helpful slogans, puns, and imagery that is a fine balance of tongue in cheek and street knowledge at the same time. Icy Signs has set up a store front in downtown Brooklyn, with pop ups in other cities, that showcases the latest work from Powers and co along with a retail aspect to pick up prints, books, and coffee mugs. Check out his work below and salute one of world’s finest artist!
Stay Up With Espo

For those keeping up with all things The Rub, you should be familiar with DJ Ayres & Tatiana Owens’ rework of the seminal Masters At Work / Barbara Tucker anthem ‘Beautiful People’ released last December. If not, do yourself a favor and download it (it’s free) right now! And more recently she was featured on The Rub’s first single ‘Bring On The Love’ released at the end of the Summer that features killer mixes from The Rub & longtime homie Nick Catchdubs of Fool’s Gold Records.
And now as an early Christmas present, the young NY songstress recently released her new EP titled ‘Colorful’ on TC Music. The EP straddles the world of Pop, Soul, and Hip Hop giving fans of Amy Winehouse, Jessie J, and Janelle Monae something new and fresh to bump in the whip. You can purchase Colorful and other release from Ms. Owens at iTunes and in the meantime, Lite It Up!
