te-doe and the rainbow red ride

FIRST, before pics. i just found longtime friend tedo3000's blog/suckspace/website. so if you have a sense of humor and hate hipsters as much as us, check him out, just ignore the big glasses. they help him read "smart people" books.

so, what i plan to try and do with most of my mindless scribble is to make function and art together. so in further study of the process i brought the dewey weber pig down to mexico with me. it's a fat girl single fin, and i took out the fin that i got with it and brought the fin off of my "one for skip" canvas/driftwood/resin peice. i inserted the fin upon landing in mexico, had a fuckin good 9 days, returned home, and placed the fin back into the picture on the wall.

the experement worked well and i was able to birth some big ideas i have for this winter. it's just so god damned cold...

more to come , alas.

back from mexico

back a few days already and i am really itchin the get back to that spot. a swell came in the day we left and dropped 8 footers on my head hours before we boarded the plane. this is a small but fun day there. anyone who wants in on property or a house there, should let me know. so fuckin nice...

billy and the green gypsy

i guess until fuckin chase calles me back and udates the site, i'll be using this blog as the vehicle for speaking to myself and maybe one day, somebody else... i always loved the 2 shades of green on my sweet G&S gypsey rider. one day i'll 2 tone a t-shirt with that tear-drop color switch. you heard it here first biters...

billy is a mixed media peice i did for the SICA (sica.org) surf and turf show this summer.

if anyone is hearing this Market in the Middle, asbury park, nj is holding a thanksgiving soup kitchen. anybody who would like to is welcome to come and help out or come and have some turkey with me marilyn and some other happy people. Market in the Middle 516 cookman ave, asbury park nj. 732-776-8886.

have a safe travel and turkey day. mexico on sunday hopefully i'll have some goytaku from there to post....

sorry for repeating, but i had some time in-between stuff this week to finish the above peice. so, the baby has been put to bed. full shots of this picture will be on my website, as soon as chase fuckin calls me back. the uno peice is in the works, i did some studies on wood a couple of months ago, but i thinks it's time to put it on canvas.

recycled driftwood frame found in normandy last winter. its gettin fuckin cold, mexico in a couple of weeks. more intresting stuff will be commin up...

letter press

i have begun work on a peice that i have started and stopped on again and again. it is the story of a dawn patrol session i had after a long night of margs and bar sitting with my friend matt. it is part of my three fin life that tells of my exploits in my 20's. the basis of my work tries to explore my single, twin and three fin lives that have shaped who i am today, why i still surf and why i paint/draw/scribble and pain to do these things you see here. stay tuned for the complete picture, cause i think it is time to put this baby to bed.

noel is supposed to give us some surf this weekend. i hope to get some shots to send to rob havasy for being part of his "surf story" exhibit. that is if i don't surf like shit again...

there was a vintage board sale at the beach house surf shop in bay head, nj this weekend (i'll link thier page soon...). it was good to see the amount of people intrested in long and short surfboards from a couple of decades ago. all kinds of people looking all different there to see the surfboards.

pops garage is going to be great. anyway here is my fathers chanin single wall hanger. every once in a while she gets wet. i hope this gets linked soon. waves and HAGTOBER FEST contest on saturday, look for updates and pics.

"summer is done..."

i really am having fun with ink and shirts. the process is not anywhere near perfect, but everyday, i get a bit closer to gettin it right. here are some of the dora shirts, testing will be done, changes will be made and they will be ready for the shelves may 2008 in the airstream. i hope you like them if anybody wants some blemished ones send me an e-mail and i will send you one. not perfect but good nonetheless. some small rippers today. i hope someone out there in webland had some fun like i did. keep it up.
