Dive in... as Wyland, the world's leading environmental marine life artist, takes you on a captivating journey through his early days as a starving artist, his role in pioneering a bold new art movement & on a roller coaster tour of what may be the most ambitious project ever undertaken by a single artist. How did a son of Detroit auto workers break out of an industrial world to become a successful artist anyway? Why did he choose whales as his subjects? What has he seen in the countless dives that have placed him eye to eye with the largest & most mysterious creatures on earth? What's it like to stand on a scaffold 200 feet in the air & paint anatomically correct portraits of these majestic leviathans while awestruck citizens - both young & old - watch the sides of some of their most ordinary buildings transform right before their eyes into beautiful blue oceans teeming with colorful marine life? "Whale Tales" answers these questions & much more through a series of Wyland's best stories - from both above & below the surface. Painting a ceiling in Japan on his back, creating the largest mural in the world, completing an entire whaling wall in the middle of the night, painting 17 murals, in 17 cities, in 17 weeks... each is a whale of a tale!
