MY ART @ THE WATERMAN’S BALL
I am so stoked to finally be apart of the WATERMAN’S BALL this year. It is an event I have always wanted to contribute too. I have 2 of my one-of-a-kind original block prints for auction, as well as a mounted giclee reproduction of “SETTING THE FIN”
The annual Waterman’s Weekend has served as the main fundraising source for the SIMA Environmental Fund since its inception. Waterman’s Weekend is a two-day fundraising event held that exclusively benefits the SIMA Environmental Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation that awards grants to various environmental groups based on their dedication to preserving and protecting the world’s oceans, beaches and waves. The Waterman’s Ball and Auction reigns as the main event, which not only allows the surf industry and friends of the environment to raise money for important oceanic causes, but also honor and celebrate those making significant contributions in the industry with the prestigious annual Waterman of the Year, Environmentalist of the Year and Lifetime Achievement awards.

DR SEUSS CHANGED MY LIFE.
Here is a new block print / watercolor inspired by the man… ******limited prints are available********
So like the millions of people in the world…. Dr. Seuss changed my life. Green Eggs and Ham was the first book I ever read. I had piles of his poems littered with free spirited illustrations everywhere. There was a period of my life when I was fascinated with drawing like him, opening my mind to creating characters that didn’t need proportional bodies and faces, arms or legs, like I was so used to drawing. There was a point in my cartooning phase where it was hard to break from what the form was “suppose to look like”, and be free with my lines. When I knocked down those walls, everything opened up for me.
Dr.Seuss I thank you … I am grateful for all the poems and artwork that 25 years later, I still cant get out of my head.
