yesterday Shepard Fairey (Obama HOPE poster artist) installed a mural on the wall of Astorino's building. It was a very cool process to watch... there are several (20+ even) other murals 8, 12, and 15 feet high that are being put up all over Pittsburgh (i've heard brillobox has one, the sprout fund building, the former rosa villa restaurant, and i'll add to the list as i find them). i'm pretty sure it's to generate discussion and interest in Fairey's upcoming show at the Warhol in october, called Supply & Demand.a coworker and i want to put together a bike tour to see them all... if anyone wants to help scout out all the locations and plan the route let me know!
someone has put together a google map of the murals... it's not complete, but maybe more will be added as they're "discovered."
