Oaktown, I like your initiative. However, Keith Haring tragically passed away far too young in 1990, at the height of the AIDS crisis. His legacy has been cemented through his visual style and his murals that remain on city walls worldwide.

rawdesigns, PM me and we can work out a buddy rate per vector / animation. Or, if you want to learn how to fish, here are the tools to D.I.Y.

1. Find the highest-res, sharpest graphics of Haring's artwork you can find –– where the black outlines are clean, and non-pixelated. I have some legit sources in mind.
2. Open the images in Photoshop, and extract only the black outlines (removing all colors).
3. Import your newly-edited graphics into an Illustrator project and select "Object > Image Trace" to transform it into a vector. (With Haring's work you should get a pretty clean result. You can manually perfect your curves against the original artwork, and re-fill the path with color, too).
4. Import the vectors into After Effects, and start animating! Make 'em dance! There are ways to keyframe specific vertices in shape paths, for customizing limb movements, etc.
