Just wanted to say without getting upset, that terry Fitzgerald never sprayed a board in his Life1 The man responsible for the Hot Buttered artwork ins Martyn Worthington. If Terry Fitz was so humble…Martyn is one heck of an inspiration to me…The pic is one of mine.
some '70s artwork for y’all…
ah yes, [Sydney, for me]…
airbrushes : - martyn worthington, holden sandman panelvans,
Roy and HG on 2JJ,
long hair, pinny single fins, stubbies, kneeboards, the legrope [‘leash’], vietnam, birds flying, waves breaking, dolphins leaping , long haired hippy mommas…
it all added up to variety in boards paint jobs !
speedniddle that art work is insane were are u located? great looking board
Wardo, I’m near Bells Beach in Victoria Australia. See more of my boards on www.speedneedle.com.au. I reckon sprayers need due credit, so lets keep this thread going with pics of rad sprays!
This is my partners fish. It is hand painted onto the blank. When she saw it she just had to have it.platty.
That’s GREAT , “speedy” … I LOVE it !! [did you make the board, too ?]
Have you heard of Norval Watson?
My brother Simon, who lives in Wonthaggi, has one of his sprays on one of his boards.
cheers mate !

" 80s type" sprays…
Now, here’s some for you, [‘speedneedle’] , Josh… [Sorry, I should have looked at your website, shouldn’t I ?!]
You’ve got some great boards and sprays there mate. Well done !! I hope you’re making a good living from those… you deserve to !
I think Martyn’s bread and butter may have been bigger jobs like murals and panel vans, ‘back in the day’. Petrol heads would pay good money for good art… surfers are notorious as tightarses, when it comes to parting with money, as you’ve probably found ?

Paint that girl up in your favourite colour and get her to roll over your blank a few times!!!
Interesting effects I’m sure…
Have, you are sick and shouldn’t have a computer…
Hicksy :-))
THIS may be the result…[not mine, by the way …yuk! A mate’s girlfriend did this, her first board ever…a mate shaped it, she did the …ummm… artwork and glassed it]
And, MANY thanks, Paul Jensen and “Doc” for the ‘posting photos’ thread tip !! [That’s MUCH better than the pesky ‘attachment’ clicking !!]

Hope you like them mate…I KNEW I had this photo somewhere !!
My first try at a cloth inlay and first try at a tint
anyone remember Danny Kwock ?
seem to remember him with similar artwork in the 80’s…
these Jim Banks-shaped boards were a good 6 or so years after the single fin I had of his…
[THESE ones would WORK, I reckon!]
Speedneedle…I love that rocket shark board/art… nice work man… plus all your other stuff is super.
- The hideous 80’s…
‘Boy George’, human league, bananarama, [!!]
fluoro zinc, fluoro wetsuits, fluoro boards, some spasmo surfer styles and huntington hoppers
- the good side…
The first wide tailed thrusters, Simon Anderson winning at BIG Bells , Tom Curren saving style in surfing…new discoveries overseas …
