Let's go Kiwi!

Goin' Kiwi, Mate!

Drew and family are in New Zealand for the month of February on a “surf-n-paint” tour!

With any luck, it will be mostly surfing, but some painting demos will be in order.  We’ll be visiting surf shops and friends (like artist Royce McClure and wife Janet), and adventuring & bushwalking.

Check our blog every now & again to see where the wind has blown us!

Friday & Saturday night from 6-10 p.m. on December 12 & 13 – Enjoy viewing new art, sipping wine and drinking ex-drinks mixed with Vodka!  It will be a fun weekend to remember.
You don’t want to miss this one!

Come check out some of the best surf art in history!  Bill Ogden is coming out of the cave for this one – Phil Roberts and Rick Rietveld will be showing off their work space, Drew’s got new paintings that will blow your mind!  Rob Havassey and Heather Ritts’ art will be there, too.

Today’s event at the FINE ARTS WEEKEND at ART SUPPLY WAREHOUSE was a fun time!  Drew spent the day demonstrating his techniques and giving away posters & stickers.  Many in the audience painted along with him, and most just picked his brain for 3 hours.  (His brain is a little sore right now….)

The Fine Arts Weekend is a celebration with major in store sales, artist demonstrations, drawings & raffles and an all around great day of inspiration. (more…)

Our workshop was held at Todd & Cate Sutz’ Island Inspired Surf Shop in Myrtle Beach. We had people travel from as far as Miami and Ponte Vedra Beach, FL for it! (Thanks for making the trip, Pamela and George)

A 6 hour workshop just isn’t enough time! People who came had a blast, they learned hands-on from Drew how to fine tune their paint pen techniques. Most of the people are talented, seasoned artists! Read on: (more…)

It was a fun vibe, and Drew had shop girl Perry help paint the board. Then an old friend, Dwight showed up and Drew put him to work, too.
