shepard fairey in weho

shepard fairey just finished a 70 x 106 mural, named peace elephant,  on the side wall of the new, soon to be inaugurated, west hollywood library. the library itself isn't the nicest new piece of architecture to have gone up in these parts this summer, but the mural (along with other pieces by kenny scharf and retina) is a nice addition of public art to the neighborhood. I've driven or walked by the mural everyday this week and the tourists and locals are alrady out in full force, snapping pictures of the new giant celebrity art piece.
