Carl Cashman recently spent few weeks downunder, getting ready for his upcoming show @ Gauntlet gallery in SF. During his stay, he painted a trippy geo-based mural on the popular Bondi beach in Sydney together with Stuart Sale.Based on his recent print release the mural is an image created by cutting horizontal and vertical lines.
