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.

The Shepard Fairey mural is just a hole-y mess now
Last night (or early this morning), more of the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery has been ripped apart...
BoweryBoogie has been keeping tabs on the destruction here as well...

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."

Paul Richard puts up a larger sign on Shepard Fairey's mural
On Monday, we posted a video of Paul Richard hanging a sign on Shepard Fairey's Bowery/Houston mural... the sign was quickly removed...
And this past week Paul Richard put up another, larger sign, as you'll see here...
That, too, has been removed...

Shepard Fairey's Cooper Square Hotel mural tagged too
After seeing photos of the epic bombing of Shepard Fairey's Bowery/Houston mural this past weekend, a reader said that he also noticed a small tag on Shep's Cooper Square Hotel work ...
... by the time we stopped by, the small tag had been wiped mostly clean... but you can still see the outline...
...this first attempt may just be the start of Open Season here too...
