Calling Curt.

Whether in guitars or historic artwork, sometimes, despite the best of intentions, you need to leave restoration to the professionals.

Made me spit out my coffee, but best thing I've read all week.

Grandma, how many times have we told you "No more art restoration".

The beautiful frescoes of Our Lady of The Howler Monkey.

She'll show that 3 year old grandchild how to paint on a wall.

Awesome!!

... or Awful?

I like the story

looks like a homely monkey with a bad tunic

or something like that

ALIEN!

even though its a sad blow to the art world i cant help but laugh.

I had the same feeling when Ed Sheeran covered "Wish You Were Here" at the .

I see a new internet meme developing.

I had a looooong laugh at this this morning on the BBC website

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

She meant well......

That's funny, Dignan.

prefer the new version

Wow, that's really really bad...

And Makayla is in fact, not impressed.

Link...

Thought it looked familiar....

Good one dignan!

Oh Lord, that old lady is loose in the Louvre!

Now she says that she had permission from the church to restore the fresco. She also points out that she hadn't finished the work. Let's give her a chance, shall we not?
