Pinstriping and Kustom Graphics Magazine did a feature on Drew’s painting of one of the Escape Camper Vans.  (Buy your copy here.)

orange-coast-mag-may-09-wpThanks to Jason Wallis, a photographer and surfer transplanted from New Zealand, some of the local Orange County Surf Artists got full page press with Orange Coast Magazine’s May 2009 Issue.

Artists shown in this photographic surf art feature include Rob Havassey, Drew Brophy, Ed Templeton, Rick Rietveld and Phil Roberts.

The artists were photographed by Jason Wallis on their own turf, and then given a copy of their photo to have their artistic way with it.  It’s interesting to see what each artist did with their own photo……
