I knew when Mark Longnecker called Drew and said “I’m coming to San Clemente” – it was going to be trouble.
You see, Mark is a wild tattoo artist from Cocoa Beach, Fl.
He has this cool, calm energy about him but he’s full of surprises.
(He owns the popular ENDLESS SUMMER TATTOO shop in Cocoa Beach.)
I call him trouble, because out of all of Drew’s friends, Mark Longnecker is the only one that actually can get Drew (more…)

We arrived Victoria Airport this morning and as usual, we had “Criminal” stamped on our foreheads and were “randomly” chosen for a criminal security check.
I knew Drew should have shaved this morning!
Being last through immigration, we walked out and Noelle and Mick from HtO Surf were (more…)
Hey Drew,
Just sharing with you a Strat that I painted inspired by your work and the music of Frank Zappa.
Hope you guys dig it, your work is a constant source of inspiration to me in my evolving style.
Best wishes,

Throughout his travels around the world, Drew is always amazed when people approach and proudly display their tattoos inspired by his art.
We will try to catalog the many examples we have on our harddrives, many like this one don’t have a name or place attached. If you have a surf tat, send it in! Drew loves them!
Here are photos of the first completed camper van for Escape Rentals.
Drew is busy working on the next ones. What will he do next?!
Hey Guys
Just thought I’d share my latest tattoo with you as you may recognise it. I started out just wanting 3 boards on my back with my wife & kids names on them, but when i saw this design I quickly changed my mind. I was sat in the chair for 10.5 hours in total in 2 hour stints. It was worth it though. I hope you feel it’s a good rendition.
Cheers
Kez
WHEN IT COME TO FENDER GUITARS AND HOT RODS, JIMMY C HAS ‘EM WIRED!
Jimmy C has long been famous for his master hot rod pinstriping and has been called the “master of detail” by his fans.
Now Jimmy is working with one of my favorite guitar companies, Fender, to paint a number of custom guitars. The Gretsch guitar painting pictured is a SICK Jimmy C signature pinstriping guaranteed to make your guitar sound sweet!
Check out Jimmy’s website at www.kustomart.net. Life is Good, especially for Jimmy C! — Drew
Now you have a reason to buy a Playboy Magazine – It’s for the ART!
PLAYBOY MAGAZINE – JUNE 2009 ISSUE (best selling magazine in the world) features Drew’s painting titled “Voodoo Child” on the same page as Megan Fox.
The “Voodoo Child” painting is Drew’s version of his favorite guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, on a 10’0″ Surfboard shaped by Ron House. We sold this painting to the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas a few years ago, and it’s been one of the rare paintings on display there.
Go pick up a Playboy Magazine this month – tell your wife it’s to support the Arts!
Yesterday was a long, hot day of painting a camper van in the sun.
I’m happy with how the painting turned out.
I have 10-15 more vans to go…..
Here’s how it all came about: (more…)
