Just in time for the busy summer season, the Alliance for Coney Island is excited to have a new welcome sign celebration Coney Island's past, and its present. DanaTylerTV reports.
The sign is a 150-foot long mural, painted by Danielle Mastrion. She's an accomplished muralist whose work is in all five boroughs, and beyond. The Alliance for Coney Island will celebrate the completion of Mastrion's"Welcome to Coney Island" mural with a ribbon cutting on Stillwell Avenue at 11 a.m. on June 2
"My idea behind the mural is it's Coney Island at night. And then it's also Coney Island in the daytime, because it turns into two different neighborhoods. That's why you have the darker colors on one side. The sideshows, like fire breathers and all the performers that you have at the sideshows, which is, like, an incredible surprise when you come down here, And it's also like an honor to all of the arts that are down here.
"I get that question a lot. I paint big naturally, or else I wouldn't be doing murals. You ask me to do something little small and tiny, it takes me forever," Mastrion said."But I chose this angle in this shot, because, you know, I wanted to bring you in. The eye is kind of eye level. Some of us are smaller but I wanted you to be brought into that." "This is this is their wall. This is their property.
