Internationally renowned pop artist
Kenny Scharf came to Salem on May 14 and 15 to paint a very cool mural on the Museum Place Garage. The mural began on the Brown Street facade on the 14th and on the 15th he added a face to the New Liberty Street facade, and then connected the two with a green creature.
Somebody describe the mural as "Donut Eating Giggle Worms." That's not Scharf's title, but we think it's a good name for these fun characters.
Here are a few pictures from the installation.
