Shepard Fairey Mural Totaled in Epic Bombing

Wow. It was only a matter of time, but the scale of this is quite impressive. The big-money street artist Shepard Fairey's giant mural on Houston and Bowery -- an advertisement for his show at Deitch Projects -- has been tagged. Photo via EV Grieve, who has many more angles.

Jeremiah's Vanishing New York has a history of the wall. Also, read up, if you need it.

UPDATE: NYC The Blog has a photo album of the mural from Saturday, too.
