San Jose Sharks

ARTIST: NYCHOS

San Jose Sharks
San Jose, CA

Nychos teamed up with The San José Sharks and dedicated a giant mural to the ice hockey team’s home town – a shark, powerfully emerging in front of the city’s skyline, clearly showing what fuels him: San José and the color Teal.

Veins arise from the letters that form the name of the city and merge with the vessels of the predator. This is exactly what brings the shark to life. As always, Nychos visualizes the power from within, showing that it literally takes guts to defend one’s territory. Talking about guts: It’s worth to take a closer look at the details. The shark might have swallowed a Ducks mask already.
