Santos is the finest artist to hit Leucadia in a long LONG time.BIG BOLD COLORS. WILD CRAZY designs. It all adds up to flavor and style.

Support your local artist and lets hope he remembers us little guys when he really hits the big time.

I've stopped in and spoken with Santos several times. Friendly guy, more than willing to explain his art and how he does it.

A welcome addition to Leucadia

Beans, beans the musical fruit,
the more you eat,
the more you toot.

The more you toot,
the better you feel, so let's have bean with every meal.

This guy's artwork is fantastic. The place next door is a bit questionable (just kidding; great job guys).

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
