Shepard Fairey Murals: San Francisco

Shepard Fairey, who you know from the Obey Giant campaign, recently worked his mural magic at the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco. Shepard painted both an outside mural and an in-room mural as part of the hotel’s Painted Rooms program, which offers guests one-of-a-kind rooms that are designed and painted by talented emerging artists– some are imaginative installations, and some are grafitti-inspired. To Shepard, “art is a way to communicate and it’s about accessibility.” Well Shepard, looks like your Hotel Des Arts project achieved both of those ends! Josh was in San Francisco over the weekend and saw the room Shepard designed, and I think the words he used to describe it were “bad ass.”
