Shepard Fairey "OBEY" Mural Bombed by Graffiti Writers in NYC....

[ColdBlooded]

As soon as Shepard Fairey's "May Day" mural at the corner of Houston and the Bowery was installed to advertise for his show at NYC's Deitch Projects, it immediately became a magnet for the city's taggers and bombers to leave some very high profile marks. While smaller tags seem to have been buffed away, Adek, Jade, Fuct, and Refry's coordinated effort should be a bit more difficult to wipe away.

I used to talk to Shepard back in the day and he would send me his homeade andre stencils.

now if it was actually bombed that would be sick, like gas said these throw ups

ironic though

 

[Gas One]

new yorkers dont give a fuck, theyll do some of the ugliest throw ups and tags you have ever seen, but theyll get up every fucking where

they dont respect 'artists' because those are usually the dudes that aint out in the streets gettin it in

street bombers vs street artists

a throw up will go over something that takes 20 hours to do AKA sonned

san francisco is sorta like that too but i think its tourists who go there to live that do that shit...EG bigfoot i always thought he was weak but he got up hard

New york shit is not my cup up tea, too many throwups nd most of the shit is booboo. LA got NY beat on this graff shit even though it's from there, we got everything in the city, pieces, street art, throwups, cappers, handstyles, etc. And that's good they hit up Shepard's shit, he still does st. art right?

shepard fairey started some shit called "phenomenology" when he was at art school.. basically rip off old communist/socialist imagery and see how society reacts today. the OBEY GIANT shit was hella original.
he was cool.. had a spot out here in dago called BLK/MRKT..
u could line up outside certain days and hed kick down a shitload of slaps and posters .. they perfected snipe marketing.
hellllla companies,movie studios, soft drinks etc.. would go to them for snipe marketing.

but that shit aint graffiti, so anybody can get it.
