12 Miles North: The Nick Gabaldon Story
Check out the preview for 12 Miles North below. We have just finished a 5 color silkscreen print for Nike which were shown at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles.
In the 1940s, The Inkwell was the only place on the Westside of Los Angeles where people of color could congregate comfortably and enjoy a day at the beach. One day a teenager named Nick Gabaldon borrowed a lifeguard’s paddleboard and took to the surf.
Segregation was an obstacle for him when he first sought to surf the famous waves of Malibu. So Nick paddled the 12 miles from the Inkwell to the famed point break.
On June 6, 1951 Nick drowned in a surfing accident at Malibu, but his undying passion is an inspiration to anyone who has ever had the courage to dream. The waves of Mother Nature belong to all of us, and so does the memory of Nick. Find your surfing, 12 Miles North.
KCET: Richard Duardo – Owner & Master Printer, Modern Multiples
Watch the video here!
“Richard Duardo is a well-known artist in the Los Angeles community. Once referred to as the ‘Warhol of the West,’ he has established a name for himself by producing prints of pop-culture icons. After graduating from UCLA, Duardo dove into Highland Park’s art scene by working with Self-Help Graphics and co-founding his first studio, Centro de Arte Público. Today, he owns Modern Multiples, a printmaking studio featuring contemporary artists. Duardo recounts the creation and closing of the Centro de Arte Publico and how the growing Chicano movement paved the way for new political organizations. Richard is part of the always vocal and committed Duardo family.”
