malibusurfsidenews.com LIFE & ARTSMALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS | October 7, 2020 | 23Run Malibutakes virtualto a newlevel“When life gives youlemons make Malibu Lemonade.”That’s the attitude RunMalibu organizers are takingas their popular eventsmove from a single scenicroute and into the virtualrealm because of the pandemic.Run Malibu will be offeringthe standard distancesit has hosted for the past11 years. Only this time,5K and half marathon participantscan run whereverthey like, whenever theylike, Nov. 7-8.But you don’t have to bea distance die hard to takepart in the fun. If you canwalk, run or even crawl just1.6 miles per day, you’vegot what it takes for RunMalibu’s 50-mile Challenge— and you’ve got theentire month of Novemberto finish.Log your miles, and “asyou progress throughoutyour challenge, you willreach milestones and earnbadges,” according to theevent website.Proceeds from the eventsbenefit the Boys & GirlsClub of Malibu, which, likemost nonprofits, has hadits share of hard times thisyear, too.For registration informationand plenty of guidanceto get you off the couch andon your feet, go to runmalibu.com.— Scott SteepletonSWINGFrom Page 20was the first Kardashian,”Swing said. “She was anobody. She was famousfor being famous … andGod bless her. But to me,at the time, I was mad.”Mad because there wasno talent for which shecould credit all the attention.There were simplyessentially self-fundedbillboards.“I’ve always beenagainst money,” Swingcontinued. “Even thoughI come from money anddesign and culture, if youstart looking at my art, youstart picking up on it. I’mmaking fun of couture,brands, money, peoplepaying to get their way. Sohere’s Angelyne, and, ‘So,because you have money,your husband is puttingbillboards everywhere ofyou.’”Swing prefers that anyattention he’s receivedstems from talent and hisability to deliver what aclient wants.Tommy Lee, he said,calls him his little ninja.“He calls me for anything.‘Hey, I want a sculpture, Iwant a painting, I want acustom jacuzzi that looksnot like a jacuzzi.’”At the height of thedesign business, Swinghad 45 employees. “Eventhough I’m an artist,” herecalls of his mindset atthe time, “it was construction.”To be sure, it’s what hewanted.But he wanted more.More art and less construction.The pandemic helpedmove that transformationalong.“Now, I’m really takingGOING RATE Malibu Sales and Leases | Week of September 25 - October 1a risk to do only art … Ithas to be either somethinghung or is installed.”Circling back to thebreak that has hit us all andwhat it means, Swing saysit’s all about growth.“I’ve gone through a reallyfun journey trying tofigure out who I want tobe,” he said. “I know I’mvery talented, I’m veryblessed. I beat myself upfor not being focused onone type of art. But I thinkit’s part of the journey.”“Money has never beenmy driving force,” headded. “It’s always aboutjust to paint. And I alwayssay, ‘This is for fun or forfree.’”Surfside News askedSwing to do somethingcompletely out of his milieu:an original Halloween-themedillustration forthis special print editionthat kids (or anyone, forthat matter) can color.“There’ll be candy cornsand lemon drops and batsand spider webs and mischievouscharacters,” heexplained.Once it’s colored, we encouragethe artist or a helperto take a picture of thepage and email it to scott@malibusurfsidenews.com,and we’ll post some ofthem on our website.Some of the picturesmay also end up hangingin Malibu ContemporaryFine Art Gallery, malibucontemporaryart.com,inMalibu Lumber Yard, aspart of Swing’s new showopening Oct. 17.
