Who knew where those first strokes would have taken me... Waiting on the summer swells in Bali, bingtangs and rice, painting the Indo sunsets, fireball and diamonds on the horizon green flash vapor trails i saw before my very eyes. After my first show in Los Angeles in 2002, my life became the road- constantly in motion, escaping the norm, internationally tripping the light to fantastic- I made my way. New York, Paris, Tokyo, Spain, subways, canvas, paints, trains, art shows & transportation, apartments and flats, creating, jamming, grooving and moving - digging all that city jazz... Alas, back to the beckoning waves, get away from the grey with tickets & planes - tropics to surf, Balinese barrels & Fijian juice. White echo beaches, opaque coconut milk.... Infinite turquoise oceans, alone with my drawings, alone in the surf, green palms rustle, quiet island life.... SF and LA and Baja and Mainland Mex, the surf, art, friends, the lifestyle - the life-smile - the journey of 35 art shows in 6 years - where ever and whatever it takes to surf when there's swell to be surfed.... through it all life-styling...
