Hi everyone,

New member here!

I create artwork on surfboards with Posca paint pens

Thought the Realsurf community might enjoy my work!

Obviously that bite was done by a shark other than the one pictured. nice work.
When it gets to this level of self important stupidity I lose interest.

oh, I don't think I like that at all. I mean, you have some skills, for sure. But I don't want a shark on my board to remind me while surfing. Can you do unicorns and rainbows?

Hey Jarryn, I think I saw a story about your your work in the Addy recently.

I was thinking that the amount of work that goes into each piece is fcuking amazing and that what you get looks like something machine printed.

Nice shot of RAAFs too :-D-:

hi Animal_Chin,

Yes! I had an article in the Geelong Addy. I was down at OG main drawing and a photographer from the Addy was there and offered to make an article of my work. The rest was history!

Haha yep I put a lot of effort into each board. The shark board took over 40 hours to complete, over the course of 5 weeks due to full time study.

I'd be more concerned of the surf-ability of a board with a bite mark in it. I make these boards for wall mounts.

If that is your view point, then it's a sure significant premium to add artwork to a blank canvas and wooden frame.

If people have interest in artwork on a useable surfboard however, I'm all for it.
