Renowed artist, Shepard Fairey, well known in his own right but also as the artist who created the "Hope" poster for Candidate Obama.
Recently (08/12), he left his mark in Asbury Park, N.J. creating a 900 square foot mural entitled "Mount-Rush-Core." It depicts punk rock icons Joey Ramone, Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, Glen Danzig, Ian MacKaye, and Henry Rollins. The mural, adjacent to the The Asbury Lanes was done in conjunction with the annual "All Tomorrow"s concerts. Elswhere in Asbury Park, Fairey also painted panels re-crearting album cover art from Obey Records.

This is the Joey Ramone panel from the mural.Jeffry Ross Hyman (May 19, 1951 - April 15, 2001), best known by his stage name Joey Ramone, was an American musician, vocalist and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the punk rock band the Ramones. Joey Ramone's image, voice and tenure as front man of the Ramones made him a countercultural icon.
