New Board

nodp
I just finished making my new surfboard. This is my 2nd attempt a shaping/glassing something on my own. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to test it now.
It's a 5'10 mini-Simmons outline. Flat bottom and very little rocker. Slight concave in the tail with glassed on keels (home made cloth inlay) and of course my own art on it.

Redbubble iPhone Cases

Over the past week I have been making a series of iPhone (3&4) hard cases in collaboration with Redbubble.
I got a few samples and I really like them. They are very tough and durable. The  designs are embedded into the case so the design is there for life – no fading or peeling.
Also, it still allows access to all the device features which sounds obvious but for some reasons my old cases didn't.

"Shorebreak" & drifwood frame

I've had this painting done a while now but I decided to re-post it since I made a small driftwood frame for it with pieces I collected where I normally surf. I think if fits the painting quite well.

New Emerald Surfwear tees

nodp
Emerald Surfwear just released their new collection. One of their new tees is part collaboration we've had for the past year now and features one of my artwork. I'm delighted with the way they came out and I want to say a bit thanks to Alan of Emerald Surfwear for his great appreciation for the emergent Irish surf art and his support to artists.

Surfboard painting for Emerald Surfwear

nodp
Alan of Emerald Surfwear, looking please with a board painting I did for them. The board itself is on display at the Emerald Surfwear shop in Galway.

Nice Rack !!

nodp.

I made a few boards before but I never had a proper rack for it. Since I needed one immediately to start glassing a board I'd just shapped, but didn't have access to proper 2x4 pieces of wood to make it, I decided to improvise with what I had. Here's a small shaping rack I made from old pallet wood.

 

Flip it over and there is my glassing stand. happy.

aaaand more frames

nodp
Well, it seems my frame attracted some attention. The folks from Emerald Surfwear (who also use some of my art for their clothing line) asked me to do a couple of sturdy looking driftwood frames for some of their display tee shirts for their shop in Limerick. Check it out

Daily Painting - Green Wall

If you've been in the sea when waves are coming in then i'm sure you'll appreciate the personal feel of this painting. It's that split second, that last vision of an unbroken wall of water coming at you while you're grinning from ear to ear. At that moment, very little matters ; worries are washed away and as the wave passes over you, you find yourself still smilling ... and smilling is what life is about.
