A few days ago the mural was tagged with huge filled white bubble letters all along the base. The amazing fanciful restoration, completely obliterating the tag, was done very much in the quick dirty style of Scharf’s street paintings of the Eighties. But Animal New York reports that Sharf is in LA and the restoration was done by an anonymous friend of the artist. I love it. I suspect more action to come.
