• Artist Statement

  I am a surfer, so the ocean and surf culture inspire me in my work. I feel this poster reminds me of vintage surfer magazine and other skate and surf publications. I first took this photo down in Santa Cruz and then edited it to be all blue in the lightroom. After it was blue, I took the picture to adobe illustrator and put the message on it. A statement that I think more people should think about, the ocean is beautiful because it doesn't discriminate. The waves don't care what you look like and where you came from. The waves will give you a beatdown either way.

• Creative Statement

  It allows me to create and take my emotions and be able to put them in to something positive.
