Description
On Sunday, a mural unveiling was held by Matt Brennan at the home of Chris Brugos. Brennan, an artist formerly based in Seattle, flew back to restore the Bettie Page/Divine mural that is painted on Brugos' home.
"I really just had to redo all the blackout lines. The faces had to be totally redone," Brennan said. This wasn't the first time he had to fix the mural. Back in 2016, he was tasked with restoring Bettie Page because vandals had targeted it. That's when Divine, a world-renowned drag queen, joined the 1950s pinup girl.
In the years since Divine was added, vandalism targeting the murals has become more extreme. Memorial Day weekend proved to be the worst incident yet.
