8-O SnubNose Rider



 
   This 8-O nose rider for Daniel The core is an old Clark foam uniform density blank
   
   The Greenough Stage-6 from TrueAmes, was my inspiration for the tail and nose outline which I templated around the fin.

A Master Study


 Some of my early paintings were studies of masters. My brush painted over the same lines as theirs and in this way I worked side by side learning all along. In the spirit of this practice I studied Master Shaper, Malcolm Campbell and his 5fin Octafish. with Bamboo runners and a Bamboo center fin from TrueAmes, making it a beautiful combo.

Turkey Town

Be it be by chance or by luck, I was hired by Matteo of PavonesHotShotz to paint a mural on his new casita in Pavones, Costa Rica. What followed were endless days of painting, surfing, and smiles from ear to ear. Over the course of a month I was immersed in the environment, culture, and great people of Pavones; not to mention the stellar wave too. I'm now home with burnt skin, new perspectives, and appreciations for the shores I call home. Thank you to Matteo, Amy and Alex from Shooting Star, Piper, Whiz and the gang, My hum bros, the land, the waves, La Pina and the Lady soul food. Forever in my heart and mind ¡Pura Vida!  ¡Viva Obama, Reggae Rasta Party, and Puss Puss!

Geisha




Fresh out of the shop a new model for WoodFoot Surfcraft I dub "the Geisha," for its clean outline and curvy hips. I made this one Custom for my stellar amigo Crouch aka Giant Human. He likes to break boards for fun so this one is rock solid. Finished just in time for my trip to Costa Rica where I will be surfing and Painting a Mural. Updates to come. Yewww!

Cypress Grove




Cypress Grove Chevre of Arcata requested me to paint a mural on their old historic barn. Upon starting the project, there was remanence of a similar themed mural that had since chipped away over time. These few remaining pieces had to be scraped clean to prepare the surface for a fresh start. This is my homage to the old mural, but in my style and hand, plus a few goats of course! Overall the project was an amazing trip, hanging from a 30ft scaffolding, painting in the sun, and snacking on chevre with apples and walnuts. If you happen to be in the area stop by  
1330 Q st. Arcata and enjoy the view. Thank you to the Cypress Grove Crew!
