"Version with new forward by Shepard Fairey <br/><br/>406 page version <br/><br/>What an incredible read! Have always respected Haring’s work and his ability to make art accessible and for the people. His philanthropic endeavors and love of children is really inspiring. Reading his deep thoughts and inner reconciliation with the business of Big Art while maintaining transparency/continuing to pump out projects was so interested to read from his perspective. Unlike the Warhol diaries, Haring’s is arguably less emotional and more introspective. It focuses less on his relationships and love affairs and more about his work. The elements that are focused on that mirror his grief for life, others, and himself. I loved how this journal felt less intrusive and what written with the purpose of being shared and added context to his life and work. He was truly just one of us and his impact on the world continues in his absence."
