Shepard Fairey – Now and Then

Well I guess it was inevitable…

Sometime during the overnight hour of Friday some fantastic person(s) decided that Shepard Fairey wasn’t for them and defamed the mural he put up on our exterior wall of October 22nd, 2008.

I guess in the grand scheme of things five months of having it up there in all it’s glory isn’t half bad, but still, it was pretty amazing. Especially after the word got out and people started coming here just to see it. Oh well…

Here’s what it looked like the day Shepard put it up:

To the person(s) that did this. When you goto sleep tonight know that you’re awesome. Awesome like emptying my cats litter box.

Love and Kisses,

Your friends at Grand

PS – We hope  you at the very least puked when you got home from your drunken tirade and now are hungover.
