This stained glass window by Graham Mace has been permanently stuck in my mind since happening across it in a TSJ feature years and years ago. It’s a jaw-dropping piece of art. Imagine that view set into the front door… You’ll be pulling in every time you go out.

I’ve been admiring the art of japanese artist Yusuke Hanai for a long time. It’s just really cool, timeless stuff – keeping very close to his inspiration (Rick Griffin, Dr Seuss) but with a distinct flair of his own. Check out more of his art below or over at hanaiyusuke.com.

I can’t think of any film I want to see more than George Greenough’s Dolphin Glide, and I find myself with frightening regularity scouring the internet for clues as to when or where it might get released. I’m beginning to think it’ll never happen. In the meantime, the clip above is a 5 minute excerpt. Not much but better than nothing.
Read MoreExcerpt from George Greenough’s elusive Dolphin Glide film, origin unknown (although judging from the quality it’s filmed off a private screening / projection).
Phil Roberts has a style that is unmistakably his. And Billabong’s. But that’s ok cause starving sucks whether you’re an artist or not, and the world would be less colourful without his iconic posters for Billabong Pro, Ultimate Wave Tahiti or the cover art for Dale “Hawk” Velzy’s biography, just to name a few. Check out a selection of his art below.

Ran into this little nugget of an interview with airbrush master Marty Worthington by Kye Fitzgerald (yep, that’s his dads quiver of ’75 above). Very fitting indeed.
T.F. and I have worked together for forty years. We first met when I read an article in Tracks about colour on boards – something I had already done on my own boards. I wrote to Terry and we went on from that, to meet and work together.
For me it’s about making art that belongs in or near the ocean – it’s certainly not just putting pictures on boards. The art has to belong to the function and lines of the board that help to make surfing a rhythmic dance.

Brilliant designer, artist, frequent collaborator & friend Okar Lindholm is featured over at Korduroy.tv as Artist of the week! Great interview and some lovely pieces of his work, like the beautiful photography above from his Digital reflections series.
There is just so much to take in these days and it’s hard to exclude anything really. I try to just suck it all in. When I do get a moment of peace and quiet it’s like it all comes towards me in a kaleidoscope. I sit back and enjoy the trip and try to create stuff inspired of it all.

Tales from the tube was a comic insert into an issue of Surfer Magazine in 1972 featuring epic cartoonists Rick Griffin, Robert Crumb, Robert Williams, S. Clay Wilson to name a few. The cover is of course by the inimitable Rick Griffin and has been a favourite for a long time, but I’ve never seen the full comic until now.
