Just happened to run into Shepard Fairey putting this piece up downtown today. This Los Angeles-based artist is one of my favorites and I consider myself so lucky to have caught this in the act, so I had to snap some shots. This is located on Wood and First. I talked to him and he told me he was preparing for his show coming up at the Warhol in October.
He'll be at this upcoming event, which you can read a little about on iheartPGH, (for which he created the poster):

the building the mural is on belongs to Astorino and i uploaded more pictures of the process here. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThere is another building he just completed - the side of the Crazy Mocha cafe bldg in Lawrenceville on Butler Street.
ReplyDeleteCat - Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteGret - That's awesome! Were you able to take a snapshot? If so, please send it my way. I'm preparing a future post with more locations.
