Joseph King loves placing his fingers on everything, as exhibited in his latest art series. The photos show his love for traveling and his ability to leave his mark with a distinguished pair of fingers.
From Portugal to Seattle, this artist has been around the world leaving his trademark hand graffiti on the most arbitrary objects. These hands look as if they are holding whatever object he puts them on. He even went as far as getting them on a woman's tank top. Other objects included in the series are trees, bars, boards and signs, with his signature hands on either side. Covering most public areas with these hands leaves his territorial mark in a small and simple way, so that it isn't too obtrusive.
