New Painting on Copper

Finished a new painting for my buddy's dad. He really likes copper and wanted me to paint a black and white underwater scene on a spare piece he had.

11.5''x17.5'' acrylic on copper-

Just finished a new custom hat for my friend Jeff. He came up with the concept of showing the underwater scene beneath the barreling wave.He also told me to throw in a sea turtle thrown . So this is what I came up with for him.

Keep on Keeping On

These coming weeks are crunch time. There is only a couple weeks left until the 2010 La Jolla Art & Wine Festival and a lot to take care of. The stress factor has increased noticeably however it is no time to throw in the towel, just use it to wipe off the sweat and keep on keeping on. Within these last three weeks I have painted a few new pieces that will be for sale at the show. Here is the most notable:

3 panels. 24''x15'', 24''x30'', 24''x15''. Acrylic on sheet metal-

UV and water resistant (Can be displayed outside)

The Other Door

This is the other door to the pair of cabinet doors I found rummaging through a neighbors trash. The painting is an embellished view of a spot I surfed while visiting Morocco in the beginning of 2009. I was with 4 other surfers, 2 guys from Brazil, a girl from Ireland, and our local Moroccan guide. We pulled over on the side of the road, peaked over the edge of this cliff, and this is what we saw. I would suggest anyone to go there, tons of right point breaks and a great culture. For more info check out Surf Moroc. I stayed there and it was a trip of a lifetime.

Off To Mexico

Board #8 is now in the books.

Its been a long time coming but I finally finished up this 5'9'' Single Fin. So now its off to Mainland Mex with my friend to be put to the test. A week in Mexico with nothing but empty left hand point breaks gives me hope that the board will do just fine. I can't wait for my friend to get back to here some feedback on the board. Its funny you can try to design the board by concept and think it will work well but, at least for me, I never really know til I put it in the water. As long as it makes it the whole trip without any structural malfunctions I will be satisfied.

The final dimensions were, H5'9'' x N14 3/4" x W19 7/8" x T15 1/2" x 2 1/2"
