July 10: Here are my two new prints for Crazy 4 Cult! Both prints are 18" by 24", signed and numbered, and printed by D&L Screenprinting. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice" is a 5 color screen print and "Helltrack" is a 4 color screenprint including 2 metallics and a blend. For those who have followed my prints from the beginning, you might remember that I did a Spicoli print way back in the day. I chose to do a new one as an experiment to see where my style and art has evolved to. Hope you like it! As for the Rad print. I'd never really seen any art dedicated to this classic so I thought I'd give it a try. Both of these prints are available now at

Gallery 1988

I've wanted to do a Point Break print for years! Growing up my friends and I watched this movie a lot. I think being from Canada, surfing movies were a little extra awesome to us because it was a lifestyle we couldn't really experience or live. The colors are a bit of a homage to the Endless Summer poster. (except I used red instead of Pink) I was also going for the early 90's surf colors. A little tribute to Swayze and his character Bodhi.
