You saw it here

Last week, I posted about the photos I take while driving around. This one struck me as cool and exciting:


As it turns out, that was actually THE Shepard Fairy, graffiti artist extraordinaire, creator of the iconic Obama HOPE poster, working on his latest installation in Los Angeles. One of you commented on it, and I did a little exploration.

Here's the finished work:


How cool is that? I'd say a lot cooler than running into one of the Hilton kids at the dentist's office, which happened to me once when I brought the boys to get their teeth cleaned.

Excellent -- glad you checked it out! I love the finished work, too. (And I agree -- Shep is cooler than a Hilton. :) )

Cool, the Hilton's plaque really!? Okay Shepard Fairy's pretty cool too. Have you seen "Exit Through the Gift Shop"?

Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! Thank you for posting it. Never would have guessed from the first photograph that it would lead to this.
