Camouflaged Sub - Michael Galullo

The Art - Why get involved? I was motivated to use my artistic abilities to give back to my community and perhaps help someone less fortunate than I am. The project also sounded like a lot of fun. Living in a shoreline community I assumed that most people's imaginations would run towards marine themes. I thought that the incongruity of the foliage over the form of a submarine would be interesting. Hence the Shrubmarine. - Michael Galullo
