Code of Conduct Adds some Sweet Art to the Sloop

A friend of the blog recently sent us a link to a post about Code of Conduct (one of the Sloop's tattoo parlors)adding some sweet art to the neighborhood:


How great would it be if we could have a "street art gallery" underneath the el?

The redeye also has more background on the art:

A mural in the "Obey Giant" art campaign, led by street artist Shepard Fairey, went up Tuesday night outside a South Loop tattoo shop and store, according to an employee.

Fairey, who created the iconic "Hope" poster of President Obama, was recently featured in Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop." He also was scheduled to do a guest DJ set late Thursday night at The Underground, at 46 W. Illinois, according to Jamie Weil, public relations representative for Rockit Ranch Productions.
