“I am beyond excited to create this mural of one of my all-time creative heroes, @eddievanhalen,” Vargas said when he announced the creation of the mural. “This mural is truly for the fans and a celebration of my favorite rock band, @vanhalen 's legacy.” Related Vargas’ mural isn’t the first public tribute to the late guitarist. Back in October, artist Adrian Wilson took to the Van Siclen Ave subway station in Brooklyn and remade the subway sign to read “Van Halen Ave.”
