LeucadiART Walk TODAY

Today is LeucadiART Walk! As a Leucadian and art lover I have to say it is one of my favorite events of the year. We are so lucky to live is such a truly amazing environment as Leucadia, for it supports and fosters some of the most creative and inspiring people I know. We are blessed to live among those who inspire us, and this event pays homage to their contribution to our community.

Here is to our community artists, who do what they love and show us the world through their eyes. We support you and respect you.

I hope to see everyone there. Come out and support your friends and neighbors, and if you have a little naked wall space, show some love to your fellow Lecuadian and buy some art! Your home will thank you for it and you'll feel good knowing you supported our community of artists.

Leucadia Art Walk

Leucadia Art Walk was pretty amazing. It was huge. I barely put a dent into it and I was there a couple of hours. I was impressed with how well it went off and what a good time everyone was having. Below are just a few of the shots I got. Enjoy.

Scott Saw is always a local favorite. Scott grew up in Leucadia doing art and surfing. 

I liked this Image. It is by local Artist Lisa Reinhardt.

One of the coolest things they did was have a parasol program. Pick one, walk a bit and set it down for the next person to use. Very cool. We should implement a board program like that. 

The music this year was good. Everywhere you went there was something to groove to.

This piece was one of a table full of some really cool carvings. The artist was Mic Yarbrough. I'm hoping I can get him to do some wax art for us as well.

I found these on a side road. These guys had a bunch of really cool old school spreads framed up.

What can I say. I had to stop and take a photo.  That's my kind of ride. Electra bike complete with board rack and fish.

Lots of cameras out there as well. Here's a shot of Lisa from Swell Stuff shooting me shooting her. Swell Stuff is a great little shop that repairs wetsuits. They are a good addition to the neighborhood as it is better to keep that rubber on your back rather then in the landfill.

Now this was the highlight for me. Kari and Ben from Olive & Ivy, a little Leucadia apparel company, were out showing off there tees. This is one that is a huge seller. It's called Eat, Sleep, Surf.  Here's a shot of Kirk who on many-o-days lives the dream. 

More cool tees by Olive & Ivy. I found their site one night be accident and spent a good hour looking at all their tees getting inspired. They have such cool designs.
