HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island artist has captured all the Pokemon critters — on a 25-foot-high wall of his studio, that is.
Efren Andaluz painted 151 of the characters on the side of his Huntington studio called "On Da Loose Design."
Newsday (http://nwsdy.li/2bg7sRP ) reports it took him 10 days and 125 spray cans to finish the mural. It has all the Pokemon featured in the original 1990s video game.
The 29-year-old artist says he began the mural on July 21. He posted a five-minute, time-lapse video on his Facebook page last week and it quickly spread online.
Andaluz also slipped in a few messages to Pokemon fans. In a speech bubble over a Charmander it says: "Don't Pokemon Go and Drive."
