I know you think they're all the same AEIOU states, but it's the barns of OHIO, not Iowa.

Aren't they the "Eee-i-e-i-oh" states? With that farmer, what lives in the dell?

Nice! Is that the garage door on John that has had the weird science fiction mural for the last several years? Weird to think it's gone, but I definitely like the replacement.

@6 Yes, it is the garage that had the Space Virgin mural, and Shelly is a mad genius. Yay, Shelly!

Hopefully this one will not get tagged up like Barbarella did... I was SO upset for Shelly when I saw that ugly ass tag over the top of the one amazing and beautiful Barbarella...

Positively inspiring!

Here's a link to a photo of the final product (completed mural): http://www.flickr.com/photos/55361487@N00/2964048209/

The tagging is ugly, but Shelly Farnham's plagiarism is worse. If she's going to be blogging and on news casts she should at least mention she COPIED this image from Shephard Fairey (who ironically is a famous graffiti artist who has spray painted and put decals on scores of private properties over many years).

Everyone knows that's not original artwork. She isn't claiming it as her own -- at least not in any of the news clips that I've seen.

Nicely done Shelly. I hope it stays up for at least 8 years...
