A little while back, OBEY Clothing blog ran my Asbury Park Photo Series as lead in promo for Shepard Fairey's Revolutions show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in Asbury Park. They also asked me to cover the opening, after party, and multiple installations Fairey had put up around the city and last week ran a post with some photos from the shoot.
There's a lot more photos that weren't used and I don't know folks, maybe Blogger doesn't want them to be seen because despite three hours of trying I can't get more than one photo to load properly in this post. But if you click the pic above you can check out everything from OBEY in Asbury Park or look for the direct links below.
Fairey's large scale installations were a personal highlight for me. The Asbury Lanes piece featuring the godfathers of punk is awesome and hopefully will last for a while. Paul Simonon now gazes out from a wall along the Casino carousel house, a rose/gun piece hides along Cookman, and the old Sixth Ave pavillion on the north end is plastered with multiple large scale LP inspired art. They stand as a reminder that no matter how much the re-developers try to homogenize the town as part of the newest addition to it's destination resort portfolio, Asbury's heart lies in the streets.
