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.

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