A couple nights ago, Kay told us about Brooke, working to restore a vandalized bus-shelter mural at 35th/Thistle. Today, Brooke sends an update:
Just wanted to share the (almost) final result. I need to let this dry and then touch up where it was gouged.
Pretty pleased with the progress and hopefully it inspires others in the community and if nothing else is a bit of good news. I had no idea how much this mural meant to folks.
Saw Brooke working out there today. Tried to shout a “thank you” as I drove by, but traffic was pretty heavy.
WOW!!!! You did a great job! Thank you so much for your time and elbow grease to restore that. You are awesome.
Brooke…thank you, great job cleaning up the vandalized art. Did the folks at the hardware store have any anti-graffiti clear coat to use as a final layer?Anything sprayed or painted on it will just bead up and run, which frustrates the vandals and is easier to remove when restoring the original, underlying graphic.
Thank you Brooke, you’ve restored more than just the mural with your selfless initiative and action.
Brooke if you read this can you let us know what solvent/cleaner and supplies you ended up using? This is a great community contribution, thank you so much.
She did a wonderful job of restoring it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Having people like this in the community is what West Seattle is all about! Thank you!
Sorry, comment time is over.
