I’m appreciating the history here gents. Having a special bent towards board art, I’m eating up the pics and names. JD
I learned a lot by watching Bredin. He had a very unique style and color pallet.
Those are some nice lookin boards! Very nice art work right there. props to hynson
i dont like those sprays at all on those boards. i think there is probably adequate technicall skill. themes are however used to death and repetetive and unoriginal for the most part . these types of sprays can not be classed as art, more of a craft really… most airbrushing is a gimmicky copy of previous work and ideas and so on. . not art, or not good art anyway.
yeah nobody has ever airbrushed a labrador retriver with a duck in his mouth by a waterfall and more ducks flying overheadand a prarie dog on the bank standing on hind feet with a background of conifers and a bear peeking from behind the stand of trees ya know like field and stream cover art and a jumping trout yeah a rainbow trout and a fly fisherman with his fly in the wind with waders on , you know like real art… yeah like who needs doiliees and rock stars .

Ambrose, what was Gary’s last name, from Pedro, artist who also had the food truck at Hanalei back in the 70’s…used to air brush a few of DK’s boards.
Moved from the point to Miramar beach in 71’, 3 bikers lived next door, on their living room wall hung a light blue DK with a beautiful air brush on the bottom of the Hawaiian Island chain…believe Gary did the work…their story of how it got there typical of the times…
