While in Belgium, Haring found the side of a large sea container that stored surfboards for the Channel Surf Club. Painted in a single day, with two pots of black and red paint, Haring completed a mural (which is unfortunately now lost) depicting swimmers riding the crashing tides, advancing towards the mouth of a monstrous sea god that will surely consume them.  Haring had also learned surfing during his time at the Surf Club and stayed at a dragon-shaped house in Nellsens' backyard; an experience which he later noted in his diary as \"surreal\".  The artist returned to Knokke every summer until his death in 1990.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093728186527,"sku":"19805","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Haring_Belgian_Francs_Original_Drawing_19805e.jpg?v=1722189950","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/19805-haring-keith-original-drawing-on-100-belgian-franc-note","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
