The Keith Haring mural on the Circus Oz site in Collingwood, Australia is undergoing a restoration.  Haring painted the mural during a 1984 visit as a gift to what was then the Collingwood Technical School.   It is one of only 31 murals worldwide.

Antonio Rava, who worked on restoring the Haring mural in Pisa, Italy  was chosen to oversee the work.  The mural will be cleaned,  selectively retouched and treated to prevent future deterioration.  The work should be completed by the end of 2013 and will include the recovery of the artist’s signature which has been missing for nearly 30 years.

Jonwayne’s Cassette 3 – the last in a trilogy of cassette releases – is the Marion Morrison Mixtape, featuring Captain Murphy, Jeremiah Jae, Zeroh and Oliver the 2nd. Some of the beats are by Jonwayne, others recycled from the Gods of Rap. The original Cassette (R.I.P.) and Cassette 2 were both cassette releases only. This time around there is a free download of the album. The cassette version is slightly expanded, containing a bonus track. Running time: 37 mins. Mastered by Daddy Kev. Artwork by Jeff Jank

About the title: Jonwayne’s real name is Jon Wayne. Marion Morrison is the real name of the Hollywood cowboy guy John Wayne, who took his screen name from Jonwayne’s great-great-great-great-great uncle. What comes around goes around.
