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.

Also in local street art news, Kaimuki graffiti artist Estria and 808 Urban unveil their "Water Writes" mural at Honolulu Community College today from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The project is actually the biggest graffiti mural in Hawaii to date and is one of 10 murals being painted internationally, speaking to the relationship between community and water. Today's event will feature a diverse mix of artists, musicians, vendor booths, food trucks, and community members, all together to celebrate this meaningful project.
I love the mural done by Ekundayo, it so eerily beautiful and just captures your eye! Also, quick hello and hope all is well in your blogging world!
