WHO’S BEEN INSPIRING IN RECENT TIMES? ANY<br />
FAVOURITE ARTISTS CURRENTLY? ANY HOT TIPS FOR<br />
UP AND COMING ARTISTS, OR UNKNOWNS THAT<br />
SHOULD BE KNOWNS?<br />
My current favourite street artist is Alexis Diaz from<br />
Puerto Rico who does the most amazingly intricate<br />
murals. They are insanely good!<br />
Hot tips for up and coming artists is to make sure you<br />
put a lot of work into building a solid skill base and<br />
drawing every day - it’s the ol’ practice makes perfect<br />
cliché but I’ve found it to be super helpful. Also, being/<br />
becoming an artist is hard and emotionally draining<br />
so it’s a good idea to surround yourself with positive<br />
people that support your goals but will also tell you<br />
honestly if an artwork isn’t right or needs more work.<br />
SURFING WISE, HAVE YOU HAD ANY MEMORABLE<br />
MOMENTS RECENTLY? GETTING OUT MUCH? WHAT<br />
ARE YOU RIDING AT THE MOMENT?<br />
I’ve been flat out with work over summer so haven’t<br />
been able to get out as much as I’d like, but I’m on<br />
holiday down in the South West at the moment and<br />
caught some super fun waves at the incredible Boranup<br />
Beach last week. My favourite board is a 9’ mal with<br />
one of my artwork inlays, custom shaped by the<br />
awesome Chris McKenzie of Oceanline Surfboards.<br />
