Airbrush Art.

I have been airbrushing surf and skateboards since I was a kid. During high school, I was doing Punk Rock stencil work on all my buddies boards. Rattle can specials I called them. Upon entering the surfboard industry, I was introduced to the airbrush gun by my friend Dave Peterson. He was the airbrusher at Dick Brewer Surfboards. I was very intrigued.

So some thirty years later I'm still doing it. At one time, I painted for every top brand in Ca. C.I., Rusty, Lost and more. They all have begged for me to come work there. I just refused. I chose to put my best artwork on my own boards.I enjoy the challenge of combining colors and textures. Every thing from Fake wood grain to cartoon characters. I've done it all. The following are just a very small example of what is possible.

Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons. ~Al Hirschfeld

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. ~Claude Monet

“Color does not add a pleasant quality to design – it reinforces it.”
