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.

Tiles in Avalon - Bison

by RTK Studio's - 1999

Here is another tile mural on the Casino Way walkway.  Also inspired by postcards from the 1920's & '30's, it depicts the bison that still roam the interior of Catalina Island.  This is one of my favorites.
