In second part of our Shepard Fairey NY street coverage (first part here), AM’s man on the street Joe Russo tours the concrete jungle with the Obey crew on a few stealthy late-night sessions. Under the cloak of darkness and working in virtual silence, it’s always interesting to see how the crew unwinds after brutal daylight campaigns of mural building at “legal” spots. Of course, these pieces are created in the most prominent locations and always done in good taste with consideration to other urban artworks.
We also trekked the 5 boroughs of New York City to give you a definitive final look at the classic locations where Obey left their mark while they visited the big apple for the “May Day” show at the now closed Deitch Projects.
