Shepard Fairey's Houston-Bowery mural is illegal, maybe
The DOB slapped a Stop Work Order on the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery... As AnimalNY noted, there are two options: obtain the proper permits for the "small building" or tear it down.
Here's a shot of the structure on the corner before Fairey's work went up...
Anyway, as an AnimalNY commenter commented..."its funny, that means no repairs to any damage like holes or torn off panels the guy who tossed bricks at it should go back, stop work order means no repairs under threat of criminal charges. you can only do emergency work if there is danger and with approval from the DOB."
So will the mural be vandalized again in the short term?

Vandalized Shepard Fairey mural unvandalized on Houston
Yesterday, the entire blogosphere a few of us (BoweryBoogie and DNAinfo ... and me) pointed out the lastest hole in Shepard Fairey's Bowery-Houston mural...
And just like that, the Fairey Swat Team has made all the repairs...
Previously... Jeremiah discussed the ongoing vandalism issues with the mural at Houston and the Bowery... (You can read those here, here and here.)

4 years on, the Shepard Fairey mural is being chipped away on 1st Avenue and 11th Street
Thanks to the reader photos/tips about the southwest corner of First Avenue at 11th Street... where workers started removing the Shepard Fairey mural this past weekend ... these photos are from yesterday...
This work arrived here in October 2016. Titled "Rise Above," the mural featured an image of Fairey's daughter when she was 3 years old. (She is now in her mid-teens.)
In an Instagram post, the L.I.S.A. Project, the public art charity responsible for this wall, said that "an aged building with a NW exposure and a bad pipe burst has taken its toll" on the mural these past four years.
The mural's goal was "to supply some brightness and positivity for the locals wandering below — especially the children coming and going from neighboring P.S. 19."
The L.I.S.A. Project is promising a new mural on this space.
Meanwhile, at least one reader figured the Michael Jackson mural on the other side of the Avenue might be removed first...

Getting a kick out of the Shepard Fairey mural
This week, Jeremiah has discussed some of the ongoing vandalism issues with Shepard Fairey's mural at Houston and the Bowery... (You can read those here, here and here.)
Now it appears someone has taken a good swift kick to the mural...
And we must have crossed paths with DNAinfo's Patrick Hedlund... who also filed a story on this.
Oh! And we didn't realize that our friend BoweryBoogie was first with this earlier today... Here's his post.

Updated: Shepard Fairey creating new mural for the Cooper Square Hotel
Following up on yesterday's post about the whitewashing of the mural on the Cooper Square Hotel... Just like that, a new mural is in progress...
We asked a Cooper employee for confirmation of the artist, but he said he didn't know... Uh-huh. Anyway, Shepard Fairey is creating this mural too.

Shepard Fairey mural gets boarded up, no trespassing signs
As Jeremiah first noted this morning, the Shepard Fairey vandalism magnet on Houston and the Bowery is getting covered up... this afternoon, a worker was also putting up "no trespassing" signs...
How long before that plywood is tagged?

Going to the Shepard Fairey mural, and we're going to get married...
Oh my. In case you haven't seen this shot that Jill posted on Blah Blog Blah... On their wedding day, a couple apparently stopped to have photos taken in front of the illegal (maybe!) Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery...
There's so much I want to know. Was this a planned stop? Or were they just motoring by in the Bride Mobile and spontaneously decided tocombust stop? Or did the happy couple drive all over the city and have their photos taken in front of things, like the Kiss Mural outside Nice Guy Eddie's? (Now THAT is romantic!)

What a piece of Shepard Fairey's vandalized Deitch Wall mural is going for on eBay
As you'll recall, vandals took to the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery last summer... Now a tipster passes along an item up for grabs on eBay: A genuine piece of the wall... And $100 for the starting bid!
Wonder how much more of the wall will turn up now... there are plenty of pieces to sell...

Time for the Shepard Fairey mural to go
I'm not sure what else to say about the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery... every day, a little bit more of it disappears... it's like a beached whale being slowly pecked clean by every passing seagull, crab, uh, you get the idea. I took these photos last evening. I'm sure it looks worse this morning.
Or maybe the mural is more interesting this way, as one East Village resident suggested to DNAinfo.
BoweryBoogie has an update on the mural today too.

Every day, a little bit more of Shepard Fairey chips away...
The damage to the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery continues... a bit more advanced this evening than Sunday morning...
Meanwhile, our friend Bryan Waterman weighs in on this mural today at Patell and Waterman’s History of New York. In short: "It’s hard not to see this as the public demanding something better on that corner."
