In turn, the new free library of brushes includes chalk, felt tip, spray paint, marker, and dripping paint, among others. While much of Haring’s ethos was spread through where he made his work, it also extended to how he made his work, often seeing him work with tools found outside of conventional art shops.
The brushes are free to download and the project marks the next step in Adobe’s mission to preserve and share the works of great artists, as well as putting them in the hand of creatives around the world. And it’s this sentiment that Adobe is drawing on in a collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation, digitising Haring’s brushes in Adobe Fresco and Photoshop. Haring famously believed that “art is for everybody,” stating that “art is nothing” unless it reaches people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a fan of his distinctive line work or the messages conveyed, his legacy is undeniable and has helped shape our understanding of art today. During his short-lived career, Haring covered the streets of New York City with his iconic works, as much a pop artist as he was a social activist, advocating for safe sex and HIV and AIDs awareness. The work of Keith Haring is loved across the world, both for its bold, colourful aesthetic and its empowering and unapologetic message.
