What Cecilia Giménez did to the 19^th century Spanish Fresco ‘Ecce Homo’ was simple restoration, she just wanted to restore the ruined fresco that was flaking off due to moisture on the church wall. But the end result that the whole world is talking about is just either a crayon sketch of a hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic or a potato face as some people call it.

Surprisingly, this one restoration has become the talk of the internet town, and what seems like the worst restoration in the history for some is the most humorous thing for others. Recently, we featured the website called ‘The Cecelia Prize’ where people can restore the botched Ecce Homo in their own style. 

What appeared first in 1939, during World War ll was just a Keep Calm And Carry On, propaganda poster. It was just an attempt to create public awareness and boost the morale of British civilians who were under constant threat of a Nazi invasion. 

Somehow, after the war these posters went missing to be discovered again in 2000 and since then has inspired ranges of clothing, mugs, doormats, baby clothes and other available merchandises. Every possible thing a person can think of.

What amazes me is that the parodies of the poster has become a trend on the internet and being sold across different channels. People are using them for different purposes like to send out political messages, to speak their mind out, support their favorite artists and what not.

I am sharing with you some of my favourite Keep Calm And Carry On parody products.
