SHORT VERSION:<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Drew Brophy has been a professional artist for over 30 years. He says of his profession, \u201cIt\u2019s my job to make things look cool<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
A life-long surfer and traveler, Drew’s career exploded in the late 1990\u2019s when he began painting surfboards using techniques he developed with water based paint pens. That led into illustrating art for some of the top action sports companies at the time. His work expanded to include fine art paintings for collectors worldwide.<\/p>\n
An early adopter of standup paddle surfing, Drew helped spread the sport through his adventure travels. He and whitewater expert Seth Warren were the first to standup paddle the entire 225 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n
