"I'm a muralist. It's a great, satisfying business but the demand for large murals is few and far between," Mario Tucci (Tucci Home Designs) of Floral Park admitted.

"It's magnificent!" he said, adding that it inspired him to use his down time to paint the town of Floral Park, where he currently lives. FULL STORY
