McGee Part II











Okay so I had a moment the other day... I basically blogged about artist Barry McGee a week or 2 ago and came across the re-works 2 days ago while strolling the streets of SoHo. As I previously mentioned he tagged over Shepard Fairy's piece on Bowery and Houston Street and 15 hours later got covered up.. well he was back and made shit happen once again- thankfully I was there to see and experience it all.
Awesome.

Barry McGee

Taking over the location of Shepard Fairey’s defaced mural, artist Barry McGee is the latest contributor to the Bowery and Houston wall space. Still a work in progress, the first layer of graffiti-style word imagery went up over the weekend. McGee previously exhibited with the now closed Deitch Projects and is known for presenting works which combine traditions of street art with Mexican mural techniques.

The layer of graffiti-style word imagery went up last weekend and was covered nearly 15 hours later.
I take the owners of 294 Bowery weren't too happy with his coloring outside the lines
