In 1988, Haring was diagnosed with AIDS. He established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989, its mandate being to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children's programs, and to expand the audience for Hiring’s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS.In June 1989, on the rear wall of the convent of the Church of Sant'Antonio in Pisa, he painted the last public work of his life, the mural "Tuttomondo."

= Artist's Statement =

My artwork name is “people holding a big mouse”. Title means “People has big ideas in their life”. That means like in the life you have so much things to do, you have so much jobs to handle everything it’s hard to do it. I used pencil, sharpies, and crayola. I used black paper for the background.

 I got this idea from the Internet. I liked this idea, because it was interesting colors. This painting emotion looks nice and it gives so much funny moments. I did bigger black lines in the painting. I enjoyed this painting very much. I used techniques like same as in the picture. It was successful piece of art, there were no scratches, and every thing was perfect.

 I studied artist Keith Haring, because I liked is graffiti paintings. I did one of his artworks, which I liked very much. The artist used graffiti paint to paint his paintings. I wanted to be original and used sharpies, because there are almost the same.
