This Cognac has a posse.
Earlier this week we told you that Shepard Fairey was in town working on a mural in Fishtown with Mural Arts. Turns out the project is in conjunction with Fairey's second label collaboration with French Cognac masters Hennessy.
We caught up with him this afternoon at Pod where he was talking about his love for Philly street art (nods to Steve Powers and Cornbread), more future collaborations with Mural Arts and his favorite Hennessy hip hop references (Illmatic, obviously).
Fairey is going to be at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (118 N. Broad St.) this evening from 5:50 to 7 p.m. signing bottles. If you'd like your own bit of Obey history pick up a bottle at your local Fine Wines and Good Spirits and head on over.
