Thank God. Looks like all is back to the way it should be with Conor Harrington’s impressive painting in New York City. Here’s what happened.

First it was like this and everybody was happy:

Then NPA came along recently and made it look like this:

Nobody (except maybe Steely Dan and NPA) was happy about that.

Luckily, the law was taken into the hands of the citizens of New York City and now Conor’s painting looks like this again:

Thanks to PublicAdCampaign and DickChicken for getting rid of those ads. Always good to see a painting revived when I thought it was lost to adverts.

Also, I’ve emailed NPA asking for some information about this incident, so we’ll see if I hear anything back from them.
