A Mindful Moment With Notes To Strangers
This season, we’ve teamed up with @notestostrangers (also known as Andy Leek) to add a hit of confidence to incoming winter days with his famous phrases of positivity. After starting the project in 2015, Andy's guerilla-style artwork resonated with absolutely *everyone* who spotted his notes around the London streets – it was only right we tapped into his words of modern-day wisdom just in time for World Mental Health Day. Here he tells us more about his artwork, inspiration and the beginning of his viral graphics.
Why did Notes to Strangers get started?
The idea for notes came from my own experience of going through a mental health problem that stemmed from working too hard, being too stressed, and burning the candle at both ends – an all too familiar story in London. Originally, I made small handwritten cards that I hid in copies of the Metro and left on the seats for people to discover. But that soon evolved into street art posters, pasted all over the electrical boxes of London.
