Droog sells out
A couple of weeks back I sent a whole load of drawings from Mexico to Bristol for the Drift show. The famously unreliable Mexican postal service did its job admirably, and now these one-off original scribbles could be yours to own.
Art
From Brazil | Serie Waves
Check out Tom Veiga’s latest work – Serie Waves, a collection of art “inspired by sensations and feelings I get from the sea, wind, the sun’s heat and the movement of the waves, as well as places I knew and other places that I still want to know”.
New work
I’ve been busy lately, working on some new jewellery designs in addition to my Drift contributions. The line is available through French Kisses here in South Africa, but feel free to email me from anywhere else in the world if you’re interested in a particular piece. Enjoy!
Colors of Coincidence
‘Colors of Coincidence’ is a monograph of Wolfgang Bloch’s art, designed by the venerable David Carson and with text by Mike Stice. Expectations are always going to be high since David Carson and Wolfgang Bloch are two of the most influential creatives around.

A life-long friend
Where do we find ourselves in the good times, the bad times, the sad times and the all-round pretty crazy times? In the finest of times, it’s the ocean that leads me to the light…
Digital vs Analogue
The North East of England has the most amazing surf on offer if you know exactly where to find it. Seems I looked in all the wrong places during July this year as it was flat, flat, flat. Not to be defeated I packed my van ready to chase waves… the Outer Hebrides and Devon were calling!
Positive portraits
While I’m wary of sweeping generalisations, I think it’s fair to say that female surfers are frequently portrayed as mere fashion mannequins, their images used to flog us more useless crap. So when this bunch of strong, celebratory, retro-tinged pictures dropped into my inbox it was a wonderful change from the norm. Meet photographer Shosh Bowles - capturing all that is positive about women’s surfing…
