Keith Haring Crack Is Wack Mural - Restoration, by oddkabob on Sept 13, 2007 18:06:15 GMT 1, Last Friday, Sept 7, driving home from work I noticed the old Crack Is Wack mural had some unusual coloring---some of it was it's usual faded and cracked orange while some of it was a bright orange. This week more and more of the new orange until finally the entire mural was completely repainted looking what I guess it looked like when it was first painted some 20 years ago. Af first I was disturbed seeing an artist's work restored by someone other than the artist, but I guess this means the mural will be around for another 20 years for more people to enjoy. Maybe in 20 years people will be refurbishing Banksys as well.

Keith Haring Crack Is Wack Mural - Restoration, by oddkabob on Sept 14, 2007 0:14:30 GMT 1, Here's the mural pre-restoration. Note: this picture is taken from a car on the highway (by someone else while I'm driving). Next time I've got someone in the car with me I'll take the post-restoration pic, but otherwise it's hard to shoot and drive on the freeway.  Also, there's a porta-potty, and other equipment used by the painters still in front of the mural. In the pre-restoration photo you can see the crackling of the paint, and the color is a faded orange.
