Leucadia 101 Mainstreet welcomes back muralist Skye Walker who has been on a 14-month mural tour across the USA and has painted 29 murals along the way from coast to coast. He’s returning home in August to Encinitas and will be painting the 30th and final mural to finish the tour in Leucadia. Walker will be collaborating with the talented artist Mark Warren (a Leucadia local) on a 45-foot mural on the south wall of Royal Liquor. Walker painted the mural that’s currently there three-and-a-half years ago, but he always wanted to change it, and now with the help of Warren, they will be bringing a new vision to life during the Leucadia Art Walk.
