PR Log (Press Release)<\/a> – August 28, 2012 – What do you do with 404 cans of Mtn 94 Graffiti Spray Paint?<\/p>\n

Ask Misty Coan, owner of Lulu\u2019s Caf\u00e9<\/a>, who commissioned popular surf lifestyle artist and Myrtle Beach native Drew Brophy to paint the mural, titled \u201cA day at the beach<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mural rendering depicts the allure that draws residents and tourists to Myrtle Beach; beach umbrellas, children building sand castles, a surfer in the waves and a banner plane flying above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The painting will be bright, colorful and energetic, typical of Brophy\u2019s distinctive art style.<\/p>\n

Coan explains how the mural came about; \u201cI wanted to liven up the street and add color to our cool building. \u00a0I mentioned to Mary Claire Brophy, a Lulu\u2019s hostess, that I wanted a mural on the outside of Lulu\u2019s. \u00a0She said her Uncle Drew was an artist and that he would be in town this summer. \u00a0 I was already a huge fan, and well, it all came together like it was meant to be!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Three generations of the Brophy family will team up to paint the mural. \u00a0With help from Brophy\u2019s father, longtime Myrtle Beach resident Tom Brophy, and Brophy\u2019s eleven year old son Dylan, Brophy expects that the mural will take one to two weeks to complete, depending upon weather.<\/p>\n

A Myrtle Beach resident until 1993, Brophy left to travel the world in search of good surf. \u00a0He eventually settled in San Clemente, California and became known as one of the most successful surf artists in history, but he never forgot his South Carolina roots.<\/p>\n

Having grown up in the Dunes Club area, Brophy has many fond memories of swimming in the swash as a little boy and surfing all over Myrtle Beach as a teenager; memories which contributed to the artwork concept.<\/p>\n

Brophy says of the area, \u201cMy happiest childhood memories are of spending all day at the beach. \u00a0And that, I feel, is the essence of Myrtle Beach<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mural will be painted using a unique medium combination of spray paint and airbrush. \u00a0Brophy will begin applying paint to the wall on Friday, August 31st, which is the expected delivery date of over 440 pounds of spray paint.<\/p>\n

\u201cI envision this mural becoming an iconic, must-see spot for tourists visiting Myrtle Beach, because it captures the joy of why they came<\/em>.\u201d \u00a0Coan says of the mural. \u00a0\u201cPeople from all over the globe will want their photo taken with it!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
