Fairey and his mural

The Rocket Cat Cafe (2001 Frankford Ave.,) has posted photos on their Facebook profile of Obama hope poster artists Shepard Fairey's new mural on the side of their building. I like it, although I was hoping for something a little more Philly-related. (h/t Philthy Blog) MM Partners also has a work-in-progress shot on their Facebook profile:

I agree, it also looks nearly exactly like the one he just did in New York on Wednesday that I talked about on my blog. I guess Philly always gets the left overs. :(

Fairey was also down at Awesome Dudes printing at 6 and Reed.

Were these two murals paid for, in part or in whole, with public monies (city/state/federal grants)?
