On my way around Philly

Walking though the city the other day with a friend, I came upon a statue I had never noticed. I said "HEY!". I had to stop and take a picture. It only seemed appropriate considering the subject of recent chapters and lectures in History of Graphic Design. The Statue stands on the Northwest corner of Broad and JFK and was made by Joe Brown in 1981.
(On a side note Joe Brown also made most of the statues that stand around the Philly sports complex)
