I wanted to compile these great photos taken by Aaron Bickford, a photo-journalist who came to our studio to document a day in Drew’s life. Click here to check out some of Aaron’s other work online.
Aaron so perfectly captured a normal day in the life of a surf artist. Check it out!
Great article on surf art, interviewing Wade Koniakowsky, Drew Brophy, Roy Gonzalez, Knost, Fletcher, Pu’u, Anderson, Black and Lloyd. Drew is so serious, Fletchers brutally honest and Roy Gonzalez is just a deviant. Check it out!
Go to this link to read the extended version of the article.
Check out this killer art site – this guy paints some sick stuff on drums, guitars and other objects. Go to http://www.inkyhollow.co.uk
You WILL have a great time and a great meal at The Conch Cafe in Garden City! The staff is fun and friendly, the owner relaxed and having fun (probably the wine he’s sipping all night) and the OCEAN FRONT view from the deck is unbelievable!
Check out the website www.conchcafe.net to see some of the deck photos.

We drove from Manhattan to Long Island (damn long drive, lots of tolls) to Unsound Surf. Drew was bummed that there wasn’t time to surf, though the waves were really small anyway.
A lot of people showed up for the painting demo – Drew had fun talking to everyone and answering their questions.
A grom named Drew showed up and his Dad showed us his paintings that were inspired from our Drew’s DVD. It was cool to see!
Here’s the finished board!
Rainbow Sandals is putting on the BATTLE OF THE PADDLE paddleboard contest this October, and the grand prize is $25,000!
Here’s the finished poster from the original painting.
Met this guy at K-Coast Surf Shop in Maryland in June 08. He had Drew’s Tiki Tattooed on his calf.
I really need to get our tattoo flash program going – so we can get paid every time someone gets Drew’s art on their body!
