It seems Zipcar has its engines revved up for Shepard Fairey; their latest newsletter included a personal note to the street artist.
Seems the company is smitten with his piece that resides on a wall in their new Hope Street and Marcy Avenue lot in Brooklyn (pictured), and hint at wanting to partner up. They write:
Check out this latest from famed graffiti artist Shepard Fairey. Rumor has it, he's also a Zipcar member. This amazing wall art can be seen at one of our newest lots at Hope St & Marcy Ave in Brooklyn.
While we're on the subject, a side note for Mr. Fairey himself: Shepard, we have a proposition for you. If you are interested in hearing it, email Ryan. Oh, the intrigue!
Will all of Zipcar's lots soon be adorned with Fairey's work?
