Ekundayo is a multi-media artist who is gaining quite the following with his surreal imagery and color palette. Recently he's painted a wall mural on the wall between Tacos Ricos and Kapahulu Auto Repair on Kapahulu Avenue. The eerily beautiful piece stems from a Hawaiian legend about the Owl aumakua (family protector). You can check out a video about Ekundayo's process via UMI Workshop here.
