Colorful
street art seems to have taken on new life thanks to Instagram. Tourists will
make a special pilgrimage to an out-of-the-way spot just to get that perfect
photo in front of an artsy mural. Scott Haskins is the guy cities call when
graffiti, pollution or weather damage an iconic street mural. Recently his team
has been restoring famous art along Los Angeles free ways that have all but
disappeared beneath graffiti.
