A sign on the wall next to the mural read,

BEYOND BLUE
By Aaron Kai

The bold designs of Hawaiian post pop artist Aaron Kai are wildly popular around the world. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris and six countries in Asia feature Kai's vivid designs, favored by uniquely diverse clients from hip hop artist to retail stores.

Kai collaborated with the Monterey Bay Aquarium on this ocean-themed mural that highlights the nonprofit Aquarium's mission to inspire conservation of the ocean. This mural celebrates the beauty of San Francisco and its vibrant, living bay.
