Hermosa Centennial Mural

hbmuralfinal

We were honored to be able to create a mural for the City of Hermosa Beach’s centennial celebration.  We attempted to weave highlights of Hermosa’s history into a single image, measuring 10ftx40ft.

It’s located at the Pier Plaza, facing the strand, across from the Tim Kelly statue. Here’s a look at the piece in it’s entirety (click to see it in detail, and be prepared to scroll!):

We wrote an Artist Statement to accompany the unveiling which you can read here.  Various local newspapers ran articles on it’s unveiling and you can read the Beach Reporter’s article here.

Here are some process pics of this project:
