This is Pittsburgh. I happened to be sitting a few feet away and watched the day he installed this
there was one just like that in northside in cincinnati, wild
October 16, 2009, Shepard Fairey standing outside the window installing the mural while I was sitting inside working.
Those were the days! So cool he’d just pop up randomly throughout the city. I remember a sick Obey wheat paste that went up a few blocks from my place on the north side. It’s long gone, but I think about it each time I pass where it used to be.
Given his time at RISD and really coming through to who he is here I’d have expected more of his work around, but there is at least some.
