Valentines

Star-crossed lovers are lurking in this window. At the Sweet Art Pop-up Shop, Romeo and Juliet, along with their buddy Willie Shakespeare are seen here romping through the hearts. Ten illustration students at MECA, Maine College of Art, set up shop on Union Street the few weeks leading up to Valentines' Day. They were selling original art consisting of cards, posters and love-themed illustrated art. There was even a red couch set up in a side room where couples or single portraits were being taken. Most of the stuff was priced to sell, and I'm sure will be opened up today.
Lots of love to spread around today.
Passing along some LOVE to my special Valentine, Elenka!
And Happy V-Day to all!

  1. That's an interesting take on the day. Not sure ol' Will would approve but who cares at this late date, right?

    Hope you got your Valentine something special!

  2. Love this shot. The colors are bright and happy, a bit more exciting than the typical soft pink. Happy Valentine's Day, Birdman and Elenka!

  12. I missed the Hearts of the Valentine Bandit this year, In Belfast, Camden & Rockland there is one too...But there was a different one in my town. Someone makes these wonderful collage valentines, each different with pictures & messages & sparkly bits, & tapes them to store fronts with a label on the baggie that says "if you love me...take me...free!" I wish I could have gone to the pop up shop! Did you buy anything?
