Originally built for the historic seaplane

Mads supplied all the artwork for the new Cruise Terminal in Long Beach. 13 continuous paintings (ea. 4x4ft.), 4 large banners (12x36ft.), several banners on light poles and three large banners at the entrance of the terminal.

The paintings are located above the ticket counter. Each painting measures 4x4 ft. All in all, more than 54 ft. of artwork.

The Queen Mary's elegant silhouette
illuminates the skyline and is instantly
recognizable as the icon for the city 
of Long Beach. Adjacent to the ship 
is the Dome which once housed 
Howard Hughes' gigantic airplane, 
the Spruce Goose. Today, the structure 
doubles as a sound stage where such 
movies as "Stargate," "Batman Forever" 
and "The Haunting" were filmed.
