Fairey is of course most famous for his Obey stickers which can be found around the city and around the world. As well as the Obama poster controversy from the 2008 elections.

From what I understand, this will be Fairey’s largest mural to date.

  • It would be awesome if someone could find his original mural–the one of Buddy Cianci has a posse that was at the bottom of Angell Street way back when…
