I worked with a group of Philadelphia store owners to create a map showcasing the 46 bookstores in the city. An image of every store has been hand painted by myself. The map can be used to locate, identify, and discover new bookstores around the city by using the business description and address featured with each painting. Now completed, 50,000 copies have been distributed throughout literary centers in the Philadelphia area for free!
Our goal is to uplift and unite bookstores with each other, and the communities they neighbor and inhabit. If you or any other person or business you know would like to receive copies of the map, please reach out to me or the Philadelphia Bookstore Map at [email protected].
Below you can see images of some of the bookstores I have painted. If you would like to see all the images of the bookstore paintings you can visit the Philadelphia Bookstore Map website or my personal Instagram. Every Free Library in Philadelphia and Bookstore listed on the Philadelphia Bookstore Map website will carry maps if you are looking to pick on up in person.
