After that whole splasher thing (see the video below), this mural remained unmolested for a full year, until this fool wrote his name.

Swoon Mural – Lower East Side

Swoon is a Brooklyn based street artist who is best known for her paper cutouts or carvings, as she called them in my interview with her in 2003. This movie takes you through the changes on this mural from 2003 to 2007.

Swoon Again
Monday, July 24th, 2006
Juxtaposing the sweet, eyes-wide expression of this young girl with the war images below is heartbreaking. Swoon buffed her own mural that had recently been defaced by some clueless soul who wrote “Sold to MOMA.” and blacked out the eyes. This is one of the pieces she pasted after the buffing.
This is what this wall looked like back in November 17, 2003.
See how it evolved through July 18, 2003 in this Flash Movie:

Soldier for Nomads
Monday, July 17th, 2006
As documented by Irena Kittenclaw , this Swoon mural had been defaced by some numbnutz with “Sold to MOMA” a reference to the recent aquisition of one of her pieces by the Museum of Modern Art. Someone else cleverly came along and modified it to say “Soldier for Nomads.” I’m not quite sure what that means but I think it expresses support for Swoon.
