To honor the late Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, Shepard Fairey has created several tributes to the hip-hop pioneer. Appearing in a number of locations across Los Angeles, the billboards make use of a Glen E. Friedman photo alongside art clearly inspired by the Beasties’ 1986 debut Licensed to Ill. Fairey’s MCA pieces can be seen at Sunset and Las Palmas and on Fairfax Avenue in LA.
