Pulling Back The Curtain On Andrew Urbine

A veteran of property rehabilitation in many Philadelphia neighborhoods, Andrew Urbine often blends aesthetics that are commonly considered "blighted" with those considered essential to the essence and character of neighborhood. When he's not out and about taking photos of street art, Andrew works with a Philadelphia, PA housing rehabilitation initiative. While renovating properties and speaking with neighbors, he started to notice pockets of the city where graffiti artists (or vandals, depending on your perspective) had seeming carte blanche to express themselves in public spaces.
