More recently Brian has contracted on many projects saving mosaic and tile murals from buildings slated for destruction, including removal from its original Santa Monica site of the 40' x 16' mosaic mural, "Pleasures Along the Beach" and reinstallation above the entrance to the Hilbert Museum in Orange, CA.
