Located in London, Ontario. The mural, titled Octopus Garden 2 was the last artistic piece created by Stephen Watson before he passed away from cancer. Born in New Brunswick, Canada he has lived in London for 25 years. His brother Paul Watson, is co-founder of Greenpeace. More than 27 metres high, and 60 metres wide, the mega-mural is the size of your average hockey rink. Stephen had laid out the ground work for the mural but was unable to complete it himself. It is meant to raise awareness in the need to take more interest in the need to preserve future of our oceans. The photo below gives the complete list of those artist took part in the completion of the mural. I'm linking to Monday Mural.
