Info

On a recent surf trip, other blokes were all talking up this spot for the mornings much anticipated swell and these guys had been here a few times. At breakfast a fella who had been building a boat at the place over the past few months spotted me, had seen I was a goofy tube sniffer and said “don’t get on the boat with the other 10 guys, the left out front will fire today with this swell direction.” I took his advice, saved some coin on the boat ride and surfed out front with old mate and an Israeli guy, scoring some of the best tubes I’ve had to date. Boat rolled back in, didn’t score and the motor broke down at some stage... Boys were spewing. 5. IF YOU COULD HAVE LUNCH WITH ONE ARTIST IN THE WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Probably Jim Phillips - counter lunch at the pub, listening to the stories of the ‘80s skate scene, asking him about coming up with screaming fist etc... Jim’s art has influenced me a fair bit, drawing crazy characters. His art is so iconic - all those memorable artworks on skateboards of the ‘80s were Jim’s. Plus we have the same name, so he must be a champion. Music plays a big part - headphones on and pencil wandering usually create my best (most random ‘out there’) pieces. Creating an artwork that people enjoy and relate to is motivating, making a living from being an artist is very motivating. Talking business, nothing like a deadline on a commission to motivate you. 3. 4. YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ART CAREER MOMENT? Probably joining an artist-run gallery in Coffs Harbour and the praise and support received from the other artists - many of whom were quite high profile in the area - which confirmed my wife and I had made the right decision, dropping half my business, moving to the beach, embracing the coastal lifestyle and to paint more. Having that support from my wife when others thought I was mad was the game changer - haven’t looked back. Having a guy order a ‘Grog Monster’ t-shirt to wear to Octoberfest was up there too. AND WHAT’S YOUR MOST MEMORABLE SURFING MOMENT? Pretty much the same as most goofy footers - scoring the perfect left. 62 SMORGASBOARDER | SUMMER <strong>2016</strong>
