Joseph Santandrea is one of my FAVORITE word ARTISTS!He uses recycled letters and other found objects to create each piece. Joe has been creating word art for over 20 years. Talk about passion!!!
Each piece is unique and one of a kind. If you find something you like you better grab it quick... It may be gone tomorrow! :)
*One of my all time favorites is "Sugar Glazed Deep Fried Cream Filled Love."
Inspiration behind this piece:
"The bakeries in Europe are different from the US. Pastries there are seen as much more of a staple rather than an indulgence. Sadly, the overly sweet pastries here in the US are becoming more and more of a staple. The family value of food=love, while heart warming and traditional, can lead to an imbalance. This piece takes that idea and explores to what length the equation can go. The colorful letters echo the festive display of a stocked American bakery. Love often hurts like a stomachache. What’s the difference?"
Joe's art is featured in coffee shops and other venues...check out his site at www.travelzealot.com
