    Save it! This is a beautiful design that someone put A LOT of work into!

    Has anyone thought about photographing it, cleaning up the design, and re-printing the design as a vinyl graphic print to be mounted to the same building? (Anti-graffiti coatings are available)

    Or, the design can be burned into ceramic tiles and preserved inside the building…. I’ve got the sources, and would love to help!

    (Or, have people buy tiles one at a time, and make it a fund raiser!!!)
