Artist of the Day: Martha Cooper
Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 10:28PM 
Martha Cooper is one of the most iconic photographers of graffiti in the world, and we're so excited to have her as part of Girls Got Kicks. Right here she's wearing a 35th Anniversary pair of adidas shelltoes, complete with a poem by Lee Quinones that Martha shot for her book Subway Art.
She's our Artist of the Day for her newest release, Remembering 9/11. Here's the description: "In the wake of devastation and loss, the true spirit of New York City dusted off the debris to mourn, heal and recover, oftentimes with very public displays on sidewalks, streetlamps, stoops and homes. Martha Cooper's photographs of street memorials erected in the days following the September 11 attacks comprise a touching and poignant look at how a city of many millions responded in so many ways, ranging from angry accusations to loving remembrances and prayers for peace. With messages in multiple languages rooted in many different cultures, these photographs reflect New York City's resilient and diverse citizens whom together make up the greatest city in the world." I'm off to get mine...
