Philadelphia is known, perhaps too well, for character-based sticker art. Even some of this city’s best street artists, like NoseGo, have roots in characters on stickers. But Joe Boruchow is one artist who is onto something completely different. I’ve seen a few of Joe’s pieces in person and they always make me stop to have a closer look. His placement is so spot-on that the work looks legal even when it is not, although his fine-art vibe probably helps a bit too.
