Kindlines
September 23, 2009My profile on the MSA Classic website
August 14, 2009
The Malibu Surfing Association was nice enough to post a profile of me on their website. If you read one of my previous posts, you’ll know that I’m doing some art that will be presented to some of the winners this year. Speaking of which, I better get back to working on it. Time is running out. I will be at the event this year.
Also, check out Roy Gonzalez poster for the event. I’ve been a fan of his artwork since I was a kid. I loved his illustrations for Astro Deck.
Brookings Art Festival
August 13, 2009
This weekend I will have an art booth at the Brookings/Harbor Art Festival in the port area. This is very convenient for me since I live here now. Most of the festivals and art shows I do I have to travel long distances for. So it will be nice to participate in one in my hometown. No rest for me in the summertime.
The scene above is simply a nice picture I took. It has no relevance to the festival. Somewhere on that horizon line I will have an art booth this weekend. If you look closely, you can almost see me waving.
Cape Kiwanda 2009
July 28, 2009
Here’s what the original artwork looks like for the upcoming Cape Kiwanda Longboard Contest here in Oregon. I made a limited edition poster from it for the event. If they don’t sell out at the event they will be for sale on my website after the weekend. I will be there Saturday and Sunday selling them, plus I will have other prints and some originals as well.
July Art Shows
July 6, 2009
I have two events coming up this month on the same day. If I could chop myself in two so that I could attend both events I would. But I assume I wouldn’t feel to good after that, and someone would need to bring a lot of napkins for clean-up.
So here they are:
The Green Room Gallery - Astoria, Oregon
Astoria’s newest art gallery and showcase for vintage surf collectibles, has invited me to apart of a show with Michael Lorenzini. Opening night will be Saturday, July 11 from 5 to 9 p.m. The gallery is located in downtown Astoria at 240 11th Street. Join me at this new venue, I would love to see some familiar faces in the crowd.
Closest Thing to Walking on Water - Santa Barbara, California
Also this month a few of my pieces will be displayed at Latitude Gallery in Santa Barbara, California. The gallery along with the Santa Barbara Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation are having a benefit art show featuring various surf artists, photographers, and films. Opening night for the show runs 6-10 p.m. on the 11th. Latitudes is located at 20 Helena Ave., Santa Barbara. The show will be on display through July 31st.
Upcoming Solo Show
June 11, 2009
I’ll have my artwork on display for the month of June at Signatures Gallery in Brookings, Oregon. The opening reception will be this Saturday the 13th from 4-7 p.m. Their address is 656 Chetco Avenue. Signatures features some amazing artists. Two that I’m a big fan of are Drew Struzan and Ken Auster. I was a wee little tike when I first encountered both of these artist’s work. Struzan of course did poster art for both Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Auster I knew from his beautiful paintings in Surfer Magazine of pro surfers that I think he did for Chart House restaurants (if my facts on whom he did them for are wrong I apologize, I’m too lazy to go and dig up the old mags). He later became known as one of the best impressionist painters of our time.
June 3, 2009
The Portland, Oregon Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation along with Wend Magazine are having a benefit art show at Lizard Lounge, 1323 NW Irving Street, for Surfrider’s ongoing programs to benefit our oceans and the Ban the Bag campaign. I will have several canvas prints for sale as part of the benefit show.
The show from 7-10 p.m. will feature various regional surf artists, music by the very talented, Jay Nash and lots of beer courtesy of Widmer Brothers Brewery. Come on down, grab a drink, peep some art, check out the live band, and show your support for Mother Ocean.
Benefit: 15% of all event proceeds go to The Surfrider Foundation
Bonus: 20% off all regular price merchandise from 7-10pm. (not to be combined with other offers)

P-Town Props
March 9, 2009
I wanted to give out a few thanks to the different people that helped with my art event, gave us a place to stay, fed us, and whatever else. Thanks first to Artful Goods for hosting the show. Alaskan Brewing for sponsoring it with an abundant assortment of fine brews. Oregon Surf for advertising it. All the supporters who came out to see my art on a Friday night. The Potter’s, Barker’s, and Czuk’s for food, company and shelter. If you missed the opening, it will be up for the month of March. Gorge Performance will also be displaying some originals this month too. It is to help their blood drive taking place on March 21.
Chris Lundy
February 27, 2009
I’ve been a huge fan of Chris Lundy’s art since the early 90’s. I used to clip it out of magazines and paste it on my walls for inspiration. One time when I was visiting Maui I saw the poster he did for the Eddie. I begged the surf shop for one, and they finally gave in. That poster followed me with every move I made, all over the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, and Australia. It’s pretty tattered now, but I still have it. A few years ago I got to meet him at a show he had in Portland. It was great to finally see his work in person. I ended up cashing in some savings that my mom had given me to purchase a small original. I absolutely love that piece.
He just contacted me to inform me of a show he has in March. If you have never seen his art in person, I highly recommend attending this event:
