Shepard Fairey (Hillcrest)

Shepard Fairey
HILLCREST
3946 5th Ave
Urban Outfitters parking lot
Shepard is a leader in street art movement, lived in San Diego for several years before moving to Los Angeles. He put the mural in Hillcrest because he knew the community would support the art work. The piece stretches over 100ft in length and portrays many artist classic motifs. The flower patterns and motifs make up certain backgrounds and a peace dove. The main image reads” believe what you are told, not what you see”. His work questions everything to stimulate people to question our leaders and their misdeeds.
