All About Us

Made in Venice by Jake Napier since 2012. The original Venice Beach laser wood artist. I strive to make the best art on the boardwalk. I will make it locally and I will make the best art that I can. Thank you for supporting my passions!

Thank you to my mom for volunteering to teach art class when I was growing up, to Kathy S. for always being patient with me while she tutored me to help me get through school. To Tom and Kathy N, Tom you taught me how to use tools, to respect woodworking and how to spray a stencil. Kathy you were always a guiding voice and that got me through tough times. John and Lola D. you were my second parents when my house wasn't a great place to be. To Jane T. for getting me to and from practice when my family couldn't.
