David Adam Le Batard (19 November 1972 – 1 August 2023), also known by the nickname LEBO, was an American graphic and fine artist known for his murals, live painting, and sculpture. He was described as having been one of southern Florida's "most recognizable artists",[1] and "almost an institution" in the art world for his wide range of media, projects, and locations.[2]
Personal history
Le Batard was born in New York City on 19 November 1972, to Cuban immigrant parents, Gonzalo and Lourdes Le Batard.[3] He was raised in South Florida,[4]Шаблон:Fv where he attended the Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School in Hollywood, Florida, then Florida International University.[5] He won the 1990 Silver Knight Award for art in Broward County, Florida,[6] and later judged that competition. He was a lecturer in residence at the International Museum of Cartoon Art while attending Florida International University, which he graduated in 1995.[3][2]
Le Batard was the younger brother of Miami sportswriter Dan Le Batard, who hosts the radio and television program The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. David occasionally made appearances on his brother's show despite the fact that he had, by his own admission, never willingly attended a sporting event. He also served as the show's art director, designing television graphics and its former studio at the Clevelander Hotel.[7]
David Le Batard died on 1 August 2023, at the age of 50.[8][9][10]
