How Do I Love Thee

A series of 16 murals - all done in one week by WRDSMTH who grew up in Cleveland area and moved to Chicago for an advertisement agency before moving to Los Angeles to pursue his writing career. While in LA, WRDSMTH came up with his idea of doing illegal street art using a typewriter without vowels and a sheet of paper with quotes and sayings that he wrote. This quickly took hold and his WRDSMTH pieces became viral and now are found all over the world.

These murals can be found in various areas across Cleveland
