The Draculas – POW! WOW! Long Beach

Artists Jeff McMillan and Gary Musgrave have joined forces to become The Draculas. The duo returned to Long Beach for the 2016 POW WOW event, painting another spooky and intriguing mural that they hope sparks conversation and story ideas among those who pass by.

You can check it out for yourself at the Westin Hotel on 333 Ocean Ave. Long Beach, California. Check out the video above, made by Scott Nichols, for insight into the process...
