Aloha Everyone, Here’s the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational art for the 2014-15 season for those that haven’t seen it in the surf magazines. Let’s hope they get some waves now.

Hi Everyone, Here’s some highlights from my spring 2013 western paintings. Might be my best output of western work yet. The background in the Nez Perce piece is South Sister from Sparks Lake area close to my house in Oregon. They lived aways north of here up in the Wallowa Valley but no doubt wandered […]
