Board Art - Brotherly love.

Just came home from a pretty disasterous day at work to find a parcel on the sideboard...............all Christmas presents recieved and accounted for so I am truely puzzeled! ........Wondering if maybe I had forgotten something in a wine induced ebay haze. Purchase panic sets in.

To my suprise when I opened it, I discover that it's a suprise Christmas present from my brother in Oz. Relief and warm heartedness come over me all at once.

It's a fabulous book, filled with all sorts of great surf, snow and skate art. In fact just about anything that you can do on a board as well as bios of the artists. I am truely touched - even more so as I have been such a shit, nagging about him never writing or sending postcards and the like. I am stunned and amazed at his thoughtfullness and feel even more crap for having only sent him a poxy card for Christmas. Guess this means I owe him that new fish his been gunning for even more. Little brother done good!

Amazing book. Fantastic images. Get yourself a copy to adorn your coffee table.

I now feel totally re-inspired, full of love and it's turned my day right around. Christmas drinks here we come!

Chris Janes Art Exhibition

Popped along this afternoon to see Chris's exhibition of his art work (you may recall from my previous entry).


He has been quite the dark horse!


It was a lovely display of work that he has done in oil, charcoal and paint on driftwood - inspired of course by the lovely surroundings of the Gwithian Towans, where he and his family live.


I picked myself up a terrific little framed charcoal sketch of the towan chalets.

I already have a space in mind for it in my little office nook, where it will be like a little window that I can gaze out of when I am busy tapping away the hours.


A big congrats again guys on it being such a success. I look forward to the next one.

Local Art Exhibition

Local Towan's artist and surfer Chris Janes is having an exhibition of his work next month which will be well worth a viewing.

Chris, who previously has a small studio in Porthleven is a talented artist and when he is not found on a surfboard, he can sometimes be found applying his artistic skills to one.



Surf Art

Roaming the net, as you do and came across the work of Newquay artist Melanie McDonald, who's work I have been admiring and now added to my aspiration list.

Although she now lives in Brittany, it is clear in her work that she is still very much inspired by life along the Cornish Coast.
