DARK

I am just feeling this... SS

SHOP

Kicking it hard, trying to get this S/DOUBLE e/shop gig up and running... Will keep you all tuned as we get closer... SS

THE GIRL

Love the vibe of this gal, simple and timeless... SS

THE CHAMP part two

Put up your dukes you art world pencilneck geeks... How many could last a round with the brilliance of this guy, not many I reckon... The line has been drawn in the sand, and for my money, no one has crossed it since this mans reign... SS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We all should look up today and say a word of thanks for the productivity of this man... He left behind his spirit and a body of work that is as religious for me as any established counterpart on this globe we all travel on... Never give up the questioning of the crazy baldheads running the world show... Stand Firm, I say... SS

THE SNARL

As I have said before, it is all in the attitude... SS

THE CHAMP

We all can never forget the impact made by this man back in his heyday... If you are of a certain age, his presence on the television with Howard Cosell come fight time created amazing memories... The first complete showman from the sports world... I bow in respect... SS

THE PROPHET

A wonderful shot of the most relevant musician in my lifetime... Still can bring tears after all these years... None but ourselves can free our minds... SS

THE MAN

Pablo and friend hanging in his studio... I could see being creative with these surroundings... SS

OUT OF THE JUNGLE

Okay, I realize I have kinda slacked on the blog front this past few weeks... Went to Kauai with the family for the holidays, just for a couple of weeks, stayed for six weeks... The surf was pumping and the weather was perfect for planting... Went on a four week landscape flurry at the compound, with surf sessions crammed in here and there... Big brushstrokes of plant material are the ultimate paint to work with... So many things to consider when working with plants, size, shape, what will they be like in ten years... Anyway, I am back at the studio and will get on the case... Big aloha, SS

 

MORNING COFFEE

This is the daily ritual when in Hawaii... Coffee at the bay deciding where to paddle out or where to paddle to... This shot is during the summer, that is the reason for the boats... Come fall, the boats clear out, as the waves soon come... SS

1990 LONDON

When it meant something, the original London chapter of buddies that kind of gravitated into a loose knit crew... Left to right, Michael Kopelman, James Lebon, Mick Jones, Barnzley and Alex Turnbull... This was a period when all this seemed so right, not strained or sponsored, done for the right reasons... I am very proud to have had a hand in this period of time, think of the wave that has followed... SS

HARD TO BEAT

Watching the weather across the country, it is really hard to pack up and move on from Kauai... The surf has pumped the last month with more on the way... Here are a few images for those stuck in winter mode... SS

COOL RED

Red has a way in design like no other color... When used right, it is hard to ignore... SS

YOUTH

Another cool picture I like a lot... SS

FLIP

Love this photo... Check the party going on up on the deck... SS

HOBIE

I am feeling the balsa on his shoulder, back when they got the pick of the litter... This whole vibe is about as analog as you can get, and you know it just feels right... SS

SQUARE RIGS

You do not need to bend the metal too much to achieve a fine ride... 

TWO WHEELS

Feeling the two wheel vintage thing lately, here are a few that are inspiring me to look around... SS

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Enjoy a tough new year you punks...
