The California State Fish - The Garibaldi - In Tile

by RTK Studios 1998-1999
Here's yet another tile mosaic that can be found on Casino Way in Avalon  like most of the others I've posted about.  The image of a Garibaldi as though seen through a submarine port hole.  This image was also part of the Avalon beautification project of 1998 and was created by RTK Studios in Ojai, California. 

I never tire of seeing these bright orange fish weaving in and out of the kelp and their coloring makes them pretty hard to miss.  My two year old daughter screeches with delight when she spots one.

For more about this series, read my first post Catalina Tile.

Catalina Tiles, The Casino Building at Twilight


RTK Studios, 1999

Here's the next tile mosaic in the Catalina Tile series.  This is one of the most beautiful ones, I think, of the Casino Buiding at twilight.  These tiles can be found on the Casino Way walkway that goes from town out to the Casino Buiding.

For more information about the Catalina tiles see my earlier post on the subject:  Catalina Tiles, Feb 1, 2012
