Street artist/OBEY brand overlord Shepard Fairey put up one of his Barack Obama posters on the corner of Houston and Bowery, next to the repainted Keith Haring mural. Fine and dandy, but he put it over the work of longtime LES graffiti staple MARTY, who then painted right over Obama in broad daylight. Then, in a really strange twist, an Obama-supporting buff squad removed the graffiti. Just another spring afternoon on the Bowery. [Razor Apple]
