  3. Frankly that OsGemeos piece should have stayed for another year. It was an absolutely amazing bit of artwork. I dig on Shep and all but there's just no way to outdo that mural with a wheatpaste montage.

  5. It looks like when the artist was commissioned in NYC, he had influence to create what questions consumerism. On the west coast his work looks to me paid outright by the Corporate State to mock the real left. Aka terrorize conventionally raised minds into apathy. Where can I talk to a real human?
