Street artist Shepard Fairey immortalizes punk icons on Asbury Lanes
For this past weekend's All Tomorrow's Parties event in Asbury Park, New Jersey, street artist Shepard Fairy immortalized punk icons Joey Ramone, Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, Glenn Danzig, Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins in a massive wheatpaste mural on the wall adjacent to Asbury Lanes.

As a young skater growing up in Charleston, SC, it was only natural to be drawn to exploring the nearby breaks.
