Cutloose and Surfer Girls Movie Night


Cutloose Surf is again kindly hosting the Surfer Girls annual movie night and this year I got to design the poster. They will be screening a film called 'Dear and Yonder' which gives insight into the history of women's surfing.

As Surfer Girls are also helping to launch on the night their new branch Surfer Mums, I thought it only fitting to try and capture women and girls all surfing together...on a MAAAAAASIVE SUP! The three surfers at the back are loosely based on pros Silvana Lima, Steph Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons...all awesome surfers that the young groms in the club look up to!

Red Bull Design Sally's Board Comp 2012


This year Red Bull put on a sweet competition to design a surfboard for world #2 Sally Fitzgibbons. They provided entrants with a template and then you were let loose to come up with an original, bold design that reflects Sally's personality. 

The winner got an awesome prize - A trip to the Roxy Pro, their design on Sally's new board and some cashola!! Waaaaah I didn't win but fortunately Red Bull are also hosting an exhibition of the top 20 designs in Sydney and I was lucky enough to be chosen for my design "The Fitz Stick #3" (the icy-pole one). You can view the top 20 and my design here Red Bull Top 20 Gallery

I reckon I might end up using the middle design on a new board for myself...why not!!

Deadset Digest 3D text



Just a bit of fun and something to do when there is no swell...
Experimenting with rendering 3d type in Maya. I like doing this because unlike most 3d projects you can get results quickly and don't need too many technical skills (of which I have very little!). Occlusions shaders make me happy :D
