Labeled Priority

Art collector Camden Noir has released his art book, Label 228: A Street Art Project, a compilation of street art created on United States Postal Service priority mail labels.

Noir launched his street project by reaching out to hundreds of artists, asking them to send him artwork on priority mail labels. In six months, he received over 500 labels from artists all over the world. At this point, he has over 1,500 labels from over 600 artists. This is a collection of the best of those labels, in a beautiful, full-color book.

It’s a remarkably popular method of featuring art by graffiti artists worldwide. These labels are free, portable and easy to exhibit, offering graf artists alternate canvases besides walls, vehicles, or public property.

Label 228 is available on October 20 at Powells.com and Amazon.com.
