Crowds Flock Around Shepard

While I am in this Collective frame of mind it seems appropriate to call out the latest Shepard Fairey mural that went up the other day on Houston Street and The Bowery. This striking work has been created in the artist's signature Russian Constructivist style. Amongst other things it commemorates May 1st, the official Labor Day of 88 countries around the world.
