January Surf Report

Despite spring weather, surf has been very flat (maybe four days above 1'). It's a good time to get some board building done. 6'2" x 22" x 3", single fin, 50/50 rails.

Urchins, Campires, Surfing, Vampires ...



A few years ago, I had a fantastic show at the Danforth Museum in Framingham. It's a great place, very active in the community. Take your kids to their weekend afternoon studio classes.

Postcards from 2006 South End Open Studios


Tools and surfboards ...

These are very important pliers, in use since I was a child.

When I was a kid, we used to ride these boards down at the Nahant Breakwater, over by Castle Island. Lots of splinters.

Tekeian.Sculpture.1

An image for New Years' Eve. This drawing is based on two guys I used to work with. They always seemed to be coming back from a party or a vacation -- really great guys.

Made at Mass Art in 1999. Someone bought it then returned it because it bothered his S.O. It has since remained off the market.
