Landscapes



Some Australian outback landscapes. Inland Australia is about as far away as you can get from the ocean but there are some nice connections between the two, such as the fragility, isolation (at times) and utter beauty of both environments.

grrrrrr


Some older paintings, charcoal, acrylic and pencil on board

summer days walking the log


Summer days are almost upon us, taking the log for a walk sounds just fie by me

toe skimmers


toe skimming, skeg flexing, foam dancing, whatever you want to call it, it feels pretty damn fine

starpoint



Starpoint surf mag is Brazillian, I cant quite read Portuguese, but the image quality is 100%

Shorty scrabble

My desk


And as always I can never seem to find anything.....................

Chair girl

Hoods


Various crowded hoods versus the lone croucher. I know which one I would rather be!!!

Six ounce 2



Some different angles from the mural I did for Ben's old store
.

Lukes painting



This is an older painting I did for Luke Steadman. Its about 2.5 meters long, made out of ply and extremely heavy. Took a while to fix this sucker to the wall on which it now lives.

Six ounce


This is an old add I did for Ben Lucas at Six Ounce Boardstore at Bondi.
Ben has since moved his wares to 40 Bronte Rd Bondi Junction. Drop in to say gday and be prepared to see some timeless creations from some of the best foam mowers around.

Shakas take 2

Santos 2


Just did an interview for the Santos art festival in Brasil as well as the new blog banner. Check here for link

Shorty HQ mural


Got busy with Brock and Jim last night to update one of the few bare Shorty HQ walls. The bearded knee paddler will now inspire us to surf more and well.......er, work less I guess.

Cut out trimmer


Nose trimmer cut out of 18mm ply and hand painted. The big woolen jumper refers to those mad earlier skeg flexers who wore these and football jerseys in the place of wetsuits which were yet to be invented. They simply surfed until either hypothermia set in or the jumper, full of water, threatened to drag them under. They then came in on to the beach and stood by a raging beach bonfire that had been lit earlier to warm themselves up. Once dry they would do it all over again. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Santos Art Festival


This is the piece I am going to send to the Santos art festival in Brasil. Check out the site, it has some amazing artists and I feel very honoured and grateful to be involved.
Its hand painted and cut out of ply.

Shakas and singlefins


Did some artwork a little while back for Ryan Tatar from Shakas and singlefins. Its a great blog and well worth checking.
He also did a nice write up for me too. Nice.

Mish mash

Type in progress


Type used in the titles for both the Shortstraw film embedded earlier in this blog

Boardies archive


First pair of boardie's that I designed for Shortstraw, super comfy, super short and apparently they make you surf better.

Owlies and the Corduroy Hunter


Got a jig saw a while back, and couldn't help finally cutting that timber up round the back of the shed.Way too much fun.


This ocean going vessel is the one to hunt those lines of corduroy swell fanning the coastline in steam chugging salt spraying style
