What the heck is that? I love you graffiti

by Amanda Growe on September 18th, 2010 at 12:18 PM

What is up with the "I love you" graffiti scrawled all over the city, on storefronts and sidewalks?

Are these words from a scorned lover who thinks he or she needs to make a grand statement í la '80s movies? An art school project? Something else?

And who is this "Tuck" that many of the pieces are signed by?

Anybody?

Seeing an old guy sit in the middle of a bus stall bench with "I Love You" above him is photo worthy.

AlexG was as random as this, but it just came across as lame tagging in weird places.

I think it is Christians. They used to put those little black and white stickers everywhere....

Same thing here in montreal, 'je t'aime' everywhere, also in italy 'ti amo'... it's a contagion

Don't know who's doing it or why but it is funny. Anyone know where all of them are? I know theres one on Pender/Beatty, and theres another one on the Vancouver Buddhist Building on Jackson/Powell and another one on that public washroom place in Oppenheim Park on Jackson/Powell. I kinda wanna do an art project on it, sooo if anyone else has any other locations?
