keith haring traveled down under in 1984 and painted this mural in collingwood as a gift to the city of melbourne. the mural is currently in a sorry state, as we say in oz, “its positively gone to the dogs.” dear readers, i beg of you to help preserve this incredible artist’s legacy by going HERE and simply signing a petition to ensure its maintenance, according to the wishes of the late artist and the keith haring foundation. it takes no more than a matter of seconds to send the email. do it for keith!

photographer jim mangan’s “color’d” exhibition is up at country club projects in los angeles and its floating my boat..bigtime! for anyone in los angeles, add this to your must-see listing.
