Cool. But there is no proof that Shepard put that up. I could have put that up. Granted, I haven't been to NYC in a few years, but lots of crazy posse members out there....

it began a while ago. Robotoil has an impressive four panel red face street piece from way back in the day that hit ebay a few years back. Very nice.

1997 Obey Giant installation recovered from demolition in San Diego, CA. Four 18x24 pasters are wheat pasted together on plywood to create "Four Panel Red Face". Note: a small portion of the lower prints are missing the corresponding giant text. This is due to the prints laying across 2 pieces of plywood. When the wall was torn down, they separated. The pasters stayed at the construction site for 8 months before coming down. The pattern from the wheat pasting by artist Shepard Fairey" can still be seen.

I've shipped very (and I mean VERY) large items by Greyhound before. Laugh if you want, but for items that are measured in feet and not inches, they're fast (point to point, no messing about in between), safe (one handler on, one handler off) and inexpensive.

i've shipped over 100 packages via greyhound. For stuff that doesn't need insurance and/or is big and not likely to be damaged, it is the best/fastest/cheapest way. Sometimes, when I drive to go on vacation, I'll ship my clothes and anything that won't fit in the car. Drop off the 1st load, run to the nearest greyhound, and grab the rest.
