“Oceanside Odyssey” is an immersive mural experience showcasing Oceanside's native habitat, from the sunset skies to the ocean's depths. The various animals represent the variety of people in Oceanside: local and migrant. Local marine life, including ospreys, dolphins, and whales, adorn the tunnel walls, culminating in a grand display welcoming us to "OCEANSIDE CALIFORNIA."

 

Oceanside Transit Center Parking Garage

Jonny Pucci, 2024

This mural by Jonny Pucci is designed in three distinct yet cohesive sections, embracing the OTC parking structure’s unique facade. It features a Spanish tile-inspired pattern reflecting Southern California’s decorative tile heritage, a school of tuna symbolizing the region’s fishing industry, and a dynamic 30-foot wave capturing the energy of the Pacific. Rooted in local history and culture, this site-specific artwork reflects the artist’s deep connection to San Diego County. This is the fifth mural in the MainStreet Oceanside Art that Excites program.
