ELVIS CHRIST, the poetry and Hand Lettering of a San Francisco Mad Man

​Street poet, street artist, graffiti poet are all terms that describe Elvis Christ. His words, cynical quips and poetic phrases, were written with felt markers on masking tape that he stuck to the sidewalk. San Francisco designer and calligrapher Thomas Ingmire followed Elvis Christ‘s sidewalk graffiti, taking over 500 photographs. In this booklet he recreates a number of the images, using his own hand to make accurate representations of Christ’s unique hand lettering and decoration style.
