Thank you to the people at Surf Rider Foundation DC for inviting me to be in there successful show!
here are some pics and info about the event on opening night!

I’ve started working on a new series called “Flat Spell”, since I haven’t surfed in a few weeks this name seems appropriate. Been working in larger format lately. Using reclaimed wood panel as my base, I’m continuing to paint with encaustics and oil paint and other mediums including 1960’s Lanolium. My light carpentry experience is coming in handy with this series, I like working with wood and it seems to go well with this batch of work.

I’ve been invited to show in the Surf Rider Foundations annual event in DC, so if your in the area check it on out at “Articulate” (only four blocks from the Whitehouse) Name of the show is “Ripple” art affecting oceans. Our oceans including the Gulf could use a little help right now!

Paul Pedro finished up his Mini-Simmons and had Ed Camera of LC glass it up, this board looks real nice!, high gloss finish and yellow go well, Paul also made the fins by hand, you can custom order fins from him, These retro shapes work real well in small summer surf up here in Rhode Island, here are more pics

I have three paintings at The Hive Cape Ann in Gloucester Ma, it’s a “culture collective” of artist, so if your up on the North Shore, or looking for a cool day trip swing by and check out the gallery !

I was in NYC over the weekend checking out some of the galleries on West 24th and 25th St. with my Bro-in-law and fellow artist Perry Yung, we started talking about woodcut printing, and I decided to try it out when I got back to the studio, here are a few (Flickr) including mixed-media.

My good friend Paul Pedro local Little Compton, RI surfer/ shaper who has been making boards for years just finished up this Mini Simmons style small wave board, here it is in the shaping room ready for glassing, I’m going to be working up the logos for this deck, can’t wait to try it out on a small glassy day!
