Curtis Kulig Explains "Love Me"

Here's video of Curtis Kulig, the artist behind the "Love Me" tag you've likely seen in your travels around New York City, giving a talk at the TedxTeen event held in New York on April 2. "I want to explain to you guys my story," he said, "and I think I'm just going to start from the beginning."

Speaking of his ubiquitous tag, "Whatever it has become," he explained, "it's kind of my everything."

Hear more from Kulig in a recent video profile with Juxtapoz magazine and an interview with Downtown Diaries last month.
