In 2001 Mark Glavina and Phoenix Art Workshop were commissioned by Vancouver Whale Watch to paint this massive mural in Steveston. The mural took us four weeks to complete as a summer camp for youth under our mentorship program, The classes were split into two segments - a morning group that worked with our installation teacher Jim Muir constructing various 3 dimensional projects, to compliment the afternoon sessions; assisting Mark Glavina in painting this massive mural. To prepare for this project we took our group of young people on a whale watching tour with Vancouver Whale watch to observe the incredible Orcas in the while. This tour became the inspiration and reference for our mural, entitled J-Pod.
