Much like Gallery Heist's decision a few month's back to allow Gaia to paint over the famed 'Lazer Cat' mural on Divis, White Walls gallery and Wall Space gave the thumbs up to street artist Eine to paint over Gaia's rad Bunny/Lion mural on Polk.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining about the fact a mural was painted over; after all, that's the nature of street art and murals.  Plus, I am a fan of nice typography and giving Taco Bell a new slogan that doesn't involve thinking and comparing Mexican fast food to hamburgers.  However, considering Eine was given 27 places to paint in the city (up and down Mission Street, various spots in the TL, Octavia and Hayes, and the side of Valencia Cyclery), most of which were previously blank walls, you think they would have been down with leaving the hybrid animal masterpiece up for a bit longer.
