Made a KILning

Scored two electric kilns this weekend, adding one more “anything” to my arsenal of art customization…

Saving the World on a Saturday Morning.

If anyone wants to feel good  on a saturday morning, check out Barefoot Wine  and the Beach rescue in HB.  Oh, yeah… i believe Mr. Mason Jennings will be there…

Long time no post.

Been messin’ around with some old sketchbook ideas, watercolor, and pen.

Aprecie.

New website.

I have been slowly updating my  website and online portfolio, as well as creating some small products for a new online store that i hope to have online in the near future. Check it out and i will be updating as frequently as i can. And here is another one of my daily drawings.

Jessie, the Walrus, Joelby, Andy, and myself went up to P-town last night and were engulfed in the lyrical genius of  the mastermind, DEL the Funkee Homosapien. Great show, great music, great company. Check out the newest works of the Funkman  here… and download for free… yes free. And if you get a chance, see him live!

Drawings.

Long time no post… I’ve come to the realization that posting everyday is a difficult thing or me to do. (Big props to those who do, Kyle.) I should have internet at the studio soon, so until then bare with me.  Instead of posting everyday, i have been creating little drawings and  small works. This seems more tangible for me to accomplish. Here is one of those small creative sessions, named Mexido which is portuguese for mixed up (i think).  More to come…

Went up to Tahoe last week and got some serious snow. It dumped 3 feet over night and we got perfect powder on monday. Here are some photos of our after boarding creativity session…

The Closet, Santa Monica.

Br3tt and i cruised up to The Closet yesterday and put some finishing touches on the TOMS mural we did a while ago. I have more photos that i will post, but i wanted to wet your appetite first. Its about 15 to 20ft wide and around 8ft tall. Created by: Br3tt Walker,  Jessie Miller, and myself, Theo. More to come…

The STINGLE FIN

Before i went to Brasil, GrifFIN and i talked about shaping up a board based off of the old Aipa stinger. It wasn’t able to accompany me on my trip, but i got it glassed as soon as i got back. Not patient enough to wait and paint it, Grif and i took it out the day it came out of Clearwater. We scored head high, slightly textured, HB, with no one out… and let me tell you this board is by far my favorite board i have. Everyone should have a Stingley in there quiver! A couple of my friends have ridden it and they all have the same reaction… Dude! That board is really fun… I’m gonna have to try it again. So, if you want a little dibble dabble on the Stingle fin, let’s go for a sesh. If you want your own Stingley, then i know the man who can shape ‘em!  Check it out!

Never Lose Your Soul

“Soul Man,” was one of two comics strips that were on display at the Santos Surf Art Festival, created by Mr. Mark Sutherland.  I have always been into comic book art, animation and illustration,  and after looking back on the photos of my Brasil trip, i am so stoked i took these photos. Inspired by Sutho, I have made it a personal goal of mine to create and illustrate my own stories. Thank you, Mark Sutherland for your inspiration and motivation.

Back in action.

Home, and back in action… Thanks to Midnight Muncheez SB. I cruised up to SB for a couple days and did a little paint pushing. If your in the area, check out the new MM in Isla Vista. Good vibe sand some great grub.  More photos to come..

Ahh muleque!

Whats up! I’ve been back from Brasil for a couple weeks, and i apologize for not updating my blog. Brasil was an amazing trip… I made some new friends, found some new inspiration, and am excited to get back in the groove. Check back to see some of the photos of our adventures. Starring:

Meu irmão, Paul.

Meu noivo, Jessie.

And meu.

 

Back in Brazil!

Sorry for the absence from the blog posts. I arrived in Sao Paulo on Monday and have been having an amazing time. I have already met life long friends and haven’t been getting much sleep, due to never wanting the fun to end. Unfortunately i have misplaced or lost my camera… so all the photos i had to share have been lost as well. I did bring an additional camera so you won’t be missing out on what else the trip has to offer.

The first day i was here, it was extremely hot but absolutely beautiful. The rest of the time it has been raining on and off and relatively windy. The waves have been crossed up because of the winds, but you can definitely see a potential for a lines up trestles like wave… I am trying to get a ride to another spot tomorrow with my new found friends, where they say the water is clear and the waves are hollow. I think its worth a try. This photo is of the whole bay of santos. on the very right you can see the museum, almost done with construction. Jair and i, with the help of others, plan to move and mount all the artwork in the museum tomorrow. There is soo much artwork at his house its unbelievable. Sunday will be the opening and i know it will be a huge success.

Aprecie.

Jims.

I have been wanting to revisit a painting that i did a couple of years ago. It was the first textured icon painting that inspired the rest of the series.  It was a picture of Jim done for my friend Matt Mcconnell. The process has changed a little and i have been very pleased with the evolution. Enjoy.

First of textured icon series.

Most recent of the series.

Johnny Cash commission for the Seahorse. His brother was pumped.

I did a commission for Mr. GrifFIN as a Christmas gift for his parents. Pretty stoked on the final outcome. Simple yet satisfying… Enjoy.

1 Foot and Perfect.

I thought I posted on the Auto publish option, but for some reason it posted before the “Album Cover” post. So, be sure to check out that too. 

Here are some shots taken from some small, but fun days with my new water camera. Enjoy.

Album Covers.

Over the holiday weeks i had a commission for a couple of quick album covers. I’m hoping for more developed album commissions in the future. Both paintings 48×48, acrylic on canvas. Enjoy.

Jalama, Lovelace, Maassen.

Went up to Jalama with seahorse last week. Had a fun session with Lightner, and met some new friends. Mr. Ryan Lovelace, and Mr. Morgan Maassen. I would definitely encourage checking out their work… 2 very skilled artist with an eye for their craft.
