Something not painting related today:
I finished my 3rd board. It's a 6'6 - 21 1/2 - 3 low rocker wave catching beast.
I used the template of my McCoy Nugget for the tail and rounded the nose. I've had the idea to try a canard type 6 fin board for a while so I just did it. I just liked the idea. 6 feet 6 inches 6 fin.

I've no idea what it does or how it does it really.  All I know is, it'll float and it will turn. The rest is up to me

From idea sketches to finished painting

nodp

This was an interesting one to work on.I used a few photos of San Sebastian and decided what should be featured in the background. One this was established I did a few quick rough sketches in order to get the composition right. I went from 3 surfers in the original idea to just one.

Eventually it's time to start layering the paint.

Euskadi Surf

I just finished this painting. I wanted to include the entrance of the port and the basque flag somehow. It was challenging to get the composition right but I really enjoyed doing this one I must say.

Daily Painting - Final Chords

"Final chords"

Surfing is a bit like coming late on the last minutes of an opera. You try to tiptoe your way in, hoping you won't get thrown out, only to hear the last few chords of a symphony that started long before even bought your ticket.

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.
