In May, Shepard Fairey worked with 100 kids from the CityKids Foundation put together a wheat paste mural that was installed earlier this week in WFC (which happens to be the compound that I work in) So I stopped by and snapped some images for Cutratedmag.

If you have a sec, this short video is pretty cool, too. In it, Fairey explains his motivation behind doing the project with the kids, and invokes Keith Haring.
