I get a lot of work from the surfing, windsurfing, & kite surfing industries. Here are some board designs I created with the client. Also ran some Edge prototype graphics.

Did all this guys graphics for 6 boards & about 10 sails (almost all... the Pimp-daddy airbrush was done by a friend)

Here's 2 basic MDO signs, one using an edge print of an architects rendering, & one with some roller-fade & a little background foilage to match their 11 plate glass windows of etch glass vinyl foilage I did.(The leasing sign was to be mounted inside a construction fence & black space at top & bottom was for that purpose)

This was my second sandblasted sign. First attempt at using prismatic lettering.

The first of my last two images here was an entry into the Trash-Art Maui show that I made from 3 groups of colors of sea glass picked up on the beach over the years. Also shown is one of my rare opportunities to make a sign with a little character.

The 4 pointed flaming star/diamond (?) is Quatro's logo that they already had when I started doing design work for them.

Here is a logo I did for another client:

I would have done the blue flamed board differently if it were entirely up to me. The main thing I didn't like was the transition from their flame logo into the rest of it.

The big flames were actually created in a very unusual sequence of steps(for me)The client has an in-house air brush artist for their custom boards, but they developed this line of production boards that are being made cheaply in Hong Kong, and then sold in quantity to surf shops. For these, they needed digital printed vinyl graphics, which they can also get very cheap overseas.

My job was to take a 2'x 4' piece of sintra painted by their artist, and do about 10-12 scans, piece them together & clean up the seams and provide a file for their manufacturer. I did get to run a full size set of prototype edge prints for them, but this was mostly a computer work job.

I remember now that it was painted with a brush, and they wanted the brush strokes to show up in the digital file. (wish I had my 1 gig processor & 512 megs ram back then...huge files)

You seem tio have it all, the skill, the really cool work & subject material, you live in what most of us would percieve as one of the most beautifull parts of the world but tell me...............

Are you wearing a TIE?
