About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the

Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:

Hi LLoyd,
That piece was done by Charlie Callahan. He was actually the first artist we featured at the Low Tide Club in Sausalito. If you look at our home page http://lowtideclub.com/ you can see some pictures we too this week of a huge mural he is currently doing at facebook. You can also see pictures from the show he did at our shop here http://lowtideclub.com/?p=275
Best,
LTC
I should have also mentioned his website here: http://fronzilla.com/blog/
Charlie Callahan,
Simply PHENOMENAL work! I cannot get over the fact this is not 3-D?! It looks incredible. I'd drive up from San Diego to N. California to see these pieces of art … just fantastic. I studied marine biology and the urchin is a favorite. What a talent you are.
Lloyd, thanks for sharing the photo! Simply stunning!
Charlie,
Somehow your comment got deleted. Could you send me email address again? Would like to see other work by you.
