Wipeout!

After.

In my June 8th post, I mentioned the miracle of the Surfing Madonna. Unfortunately (for the moment, at least), the gorgeous mosaic has been removed (see picture above) because the city classified it as graffiti because it was unauthorized.  Fortunately, the artist came forward and admitted his work and responsibility. He paid over $2,000 plus fines to have the piece taken down. Reportedly he is trying to find another public place within the same city to reinstall it legally. I hope so.

Before.
