Gilgo Beach Mural Take III

Ocean 7:14

"She captivates with her overpowering demeanor, vast and unbridled she swoons and swells. Within her liquid embrace I am captive, supported and free. In the tides of her fury I feel at peace, in the crash of her thunder I am home. Within her depths life has risen, upon her crests fear is known. I am humbled by her beauty, seduced by her song and cleansed by her gentle soul."

We've finally arrived at the last installment of the Gilgo beach murals. In the past two years myself and a handful of other Long Island Muralists have covered a once vandalized tunnel leading to the beach at Gilgo with beautiful murals for all to enjoy. The Ocean Project was initially conceptualized by Chris Kluesener from Thrust Surfwear along with the Surfrider Foundation to bring awareness to keeping our beaches and ocean clean.

This year we're going to be panting the North side of the tunnel which spans 115 feet in total. Kevin Corcoran and I are tackling a 30 foot section of that wall this year. We're creating our most ambitious mural to date so come down and join us. I've seen the comp for the other murals and it looks like we're going to have a great showing for the north wall. Make sure you stop by and say hello. Just listen for the rattling of spray paint cans and you'll find me…..
