A CELEBRATION OF SURF AND ART; WHAT DOES SURFING MEAN TO YOU!

Drew’s work as an artist takes him all over the world, partnering with communities to paint murals and create art inspired projects.

Now, Drew wants to combine the love for art, and San Clemente’s love of surfing, right here in his home town, during the Hurley Pro contest (the biggest, authentic surf event of the WCT)

Drew has put together a week-long celebration of Art & Surf for our community right here in San Clemente!

For 6 days, Drew will be painting a “movable mural”, 18 feet long, at different locations in town.  (2 of the locations have Brophy Poster Give-aways – See locations at bottom of this post)

 

MAKE AND TAKE:  The week will finish with an afternoon of “Painting with Drew” at San Clemente Art Supply Store.

It’s open to the public, and it’s free, thanks to the the generosity of Fredrix Canvas and SC Art Supply.  Bring your family and expose them to an afternoon of painting and creativity, for free!

This event coincides with the Hurley Pro surfing event, and the North Beach Art Walk.   On Friday, after you enjoy creating your own art, you can stroll the art walk.

During the week, Drew will be painting live and asking you to share “what is surfing” to you!  Your answer to that question is an entry into a drawing to win one of the Drew Brophy canvas art prints that will be given away on Friday, Sept 12, at SC Art Supply.

We hope you’ll join us, talk story, and tell us what surfing means to you!

patrick gudauskas all the way Dreaming of Winning the Tresetles Contest as a GromoFOR THE NEXT 20 DAYS, I’M CREATING 20 ORIGINAL ART PIECES that reflect my thought process and where my ideas originate from.  I’m painting from the heart, just having fun with it.  You might love ’em, you might hate ’em, but either way, I hope they invoke a feeling for you.

Today’s Painting is the Second of 20, titled DREAMING OF WINNING AT TRESTLES 11 x 14 on Canvas Board, Uni Posca Paint Pens.

This is pro surfer Patrick Gudauskas, dreaming of winning at Trestles as a grom!

This painting was inspired by Patrick’s surfing in the Hurley Pro yesterday, where he beat Kelly Slater.   Spectators on the beach cheered him on.

Today Patrick competed against Taj Burrows and didn’t win but he qualified to surf in all the other WCT events.  Watch out for Patrick Gudauskas blowing up in the next three events!

Patrick is a San Clemente local and one of the three frothing, eternal grommets, the Gudauskas brothers.  I’m stoked to have such a great ambassador representing San Clemente on the World Tour.

Riding my bike down to the Hurley Pro to paint for the day!

Kolohes Air painting by Drew Brophy Sept 2013 at Hurley Pro Lowers Trestles Contest

KOLOHE’S AIR 11″ x 14″ on Canvas Board

Today’s Painting is the First of 20, titled KOLOHE’S AIR 11 x 14 on Canvas Board, Uni Posca Paint Pens.

This morning I wanted to sit and paint on the beach as I watched the Hurley Pro Surfing contest at Lower Trestles.

I was so inspired by Kolohe Andino’s air, as he surfed against Taj Burrows, that I had to paint it!

When Kolohe was only 2 years old and I was working at the old …Lost shop in San Clemente, his dad Dino brought him in to check out the surfboard factory.

I dipped young Kolohe’s feet in blue tempera paint and let him walk on his dad’s Lost surfboard, decorating the deck.  It looked cool.  But,  I think his mom got mad that I got paint all over her baby!

Now, many years later, I proudly watch this local San Clemente kid tearing it up on the ASP World Tour.

Kolohe didn’t win his heat this morning, but, his air was sick.

Hope you enjoy it!

Life is Good,  Drew

Photographer John Cocozza interviewed me for Surf Shot Magazine.  He asked a lot of great questions that let me tell a couple stories that don’t normally come up in an interview, like the “town surfboard” when I was a kid, my favorite all-time painting, and being robbed in Peru.

Here’s part of the interview; for the complete interview go to Surf Shot Magazine.

When did you start surfing and who got you started? My older brother Tommy put me on a board when I was about 4 or 5.  It was an instant addiction!

What was your first board and do you still have it? When I was a kid, there were only a few (more…)
