Rick Griffin's Birthday


Wednesday June 18th 2008 would have been Rick Griffin’s 64th Birthday. Give him a thought on your next surf.


God Bless Rick’s family. Rick was obviously blessed by God here on Earth and knew it. But more important is the blessing of being in God’s presence this very moment. What a phenomenal and under-appreciated artist.

Q,

He use to get so irritated at me for asking him so many questions about painting…then he’d laugh and ask me to grab him a beer from the frig.

I owe alot of my art/airbrushing creativity to Rick G,Ed Roth,and Van Dutch.

Thank you much guys.
