Yesterday Shepard Fairey was all, “We’ll finish when we finish. We’re on California time," when asked about his mural going up on Houston Street (in place of the Os Gemeos one). Flash forward to today and: it's done! But then again, even on California time it probably doesn't take very long to wheatpaste something. What do you think of the final product?
UPDATE: We're told Fairey is still working on this. Repeat: mural not done! Pass the wheatpaste please!
