Shepard Fairey ~ West Hollywood Library

3:32 PM PDT on August 2, 2011

The new West Hollywood library, which opens in the Fall, invited RETNA, Kenny Scharf and Shepard Fairey to crate enormous murals on three of their three massive walls that face various streets near San Vicente and Melrose. Our winged friend Birdman documented the Shepard's work, and the results are in the photos here. For more photos from this shoot, check out Birdman's Flickr.
