Since 1988, Troy Lovegates aka Other (or really Derek Mehaffey) has been painting the town, literally, from large scale murals to oil stick characters painted on trains to wheat pasted posters. Now there’s a book of photographs that showcase a ton of his work and share some of the experiences he had along the way. Actually there are two books, a fancy limited edition version or the regular soft cover edition seen here. I love how his artwork interacts within the spaces he installs them. How cool would it be to happen across some of his work in person…
