Well, three weeks was a pretty long run, right? Shepard Fairey's (illegal?) SoHo mural finally got tagged last night. Gothamist's Jen Carlson was at the scene yesterday, saying, "This must have happened late last night. I was over there around 9 and made a point to stop and look to see if there were any tags, but it looked totally clean." The work is signed "YOLK" in one corner. So, is this a possible hit on Fairey from NIMBY local taggers, or do they just not appreciate homages to Russian Constructivism? [Via EVGrieve]
