Surfing Madonna Mosaic Draws Mass Following: “ENCINITAS, CA - The surfing Madonna appeared just before Easter weekend and has been stirring a soulful debate in this Southern California beach town ever since.  The striking mosaic of the Virgin of Guadalupe riding a wave was affixed to a wall under a train bridge by artists disguised as construction workers in April. It technically is graffiti that should be removed under the law … The 10-by-10-foot rock and glass mosaic poses an interesting dilemma over whether a city should spend lots of money to get rid of artwork that is illegal but well done and actually beautifies a place.” (AP via artdaily)
