Custom surfboards not hype. Hand made. Hand painted. Not from China or Thailand.

Yes this is the brave new world where the surfing industry driven culture
will pump out the new surfer organism
…ambrose…
gel makes you hair ----- look
…like… cool.
amazing is so 90’s
Jim, I don't see much of Longnecker's work because I don't go up to Cocoa Beach very much (only if I have to, and I ''have to'' this afternoon lol). What I have seen pretty much blows away the stuff in that vid.
When I think of ''amazing airbrush art'', I remember the work that Phil Roberts and Gary Philhower were doing at MTB in the late 70's-early 80s. Donnie Mulhern has a couple of boards that Phil is still trying to buy off of him, Mully just laughs at him every time he calls.
WHAT!!! They got a 7 1/2 ft barrel.......I'm going!
I recognize that this is not quite as elegant as an octopus. But could Christie knock out something like this for me, full length, on a custom 5’9" Retro Fish?
What a coinkydink.
This last week four of us from the Surfing Heritage Foundation went up to PV to pick up two very early Rick Griffin pieces that had been painted on the walls of a home on the hill above Haggerty's.
The home was set for demolition and an avid local Griffin collector learned about it so he had the walls cut out and they have been donated to SHF.
His home was full of original Griffin work and when I mentioned my all time favorite painting he said "come downstairs" and there she was.
The Virgin of Malibu AKA The Curse of The Chumash.
I'd seen the painting in person only once before at the Griffin exhibit the Laguna Art Museum ran a few years ago and once again I was struck with a massive case of chicken skin gazing upon what I consider to be Griffin's masterpiece.
you gotta throw Glenn Branch into the time frame also
at the Hill, there is a poster of Griffin painting the VOM, also from Florida is Henry Lund, another amazing, unheard of artist outside of the space coast
Jim— I remember that pic. Guess I’m gonna visit SHF on the next trip. Curious about Griffin on drywall.
There are at least a couple of pretty damned good Airbrush Artists here on this site that contribute regularly. I don’t think they would put themselves in the company of Senor Griffin, but when it comes to surfboards they are some of the best.
Atomized, not just an “airbrush” artist, but graphic, computer, portrait, you name it, simply blows my mind with the varied mediums he has a mastery of
Great save! Griffin went to the school where I presently teach art.
I completely agree. Amazing artist. Barry Snyder also.
It's actually Griffin on plaster. And at this point they are still HEAVY.
The one on the left was on an exterior wall and it still has the stucco on it.
The one on the right was a load bearing interior wall and it's complete with a copper plumbing line and heating duct....
bitchin’ save.
…ambrose…
What a bitchin’ twist this thread took!
here’s more on the the story. http://www.easyreadernews.com/60707/saving-rick-griffin/
Carrillo needs an award

Too Cool! Kudos to everyone who had a hand in this. I hope I can see them in Feb. when I am down that way. Lowel
