Cardiff, Friday the 11th of December 09. Be there or be square.

Maggie and I are proud to own work by Skye! Duder is a pleasure to share a lineup with as well.

The lovely Maggie Marsek (you may know her as Miss Surfy Surfy 2009) has a booth Saturday and Sunday at the Encinitas Street Fair. It’s going to be right across from the Soft Spra car wash.

You should stop by and leaf through the prints. It’s like looking through records only you don’t have to spin them on anything to hear beautiful music.

Soon as I hit it big, I’m going to commission Reuben Margolin to build me one of his kinetic wave sculptures. But first, we’ll need to go for a surf. My favorites are at 5:38 and 7:12.

My special lady friend Maggie Marsek is now blogging at Sealayer.com. It’s only been running a few weeks, but she’s already posted about the uber talented Chris Cravey, our trip to the Salton Sea, some Gothic Dolphins sightings and other rad surfy/cooky/photoy stuff.

Go check it out and leave a nice note. She gets giggly and blushes over sweet comments. I love it when she blushes.

The blog Pinnaple Love has an interview with Frank Cubillos of Patches Hideout.

Ok, every day is the day to stoke someone, but at Christmas time it’s especially important to pick out a thoughtful something for friends and family. In that train of thought, Maggie and I humbly offer signed and matted prints of her work as gift ideas.

Prices are super reasonable, (she’s lowered them significantly):

$15: 5″ x 7″ image in 8″ x 10″ mat
$25: 8″ x 12″ image - 12″ x 16″ mat
$40: 10″ x 15″ image - 16″ x 20″ mat

A few of the images Maggie has ready for sale:

You can also order any image from her website, ready to go in just a day or two. Go to maggiemarsek.com find something you like and email her or give her a call. Her info is here. Include the image you want, it’s size and your contact info. She’ll set up the rest with you.

Also At Shelter Surf Shop
In addition to ordering directly from Maggie, you can swing by Shelter Surf Shop in Long Beach California and browse their selection of Maggie’s work.

Hope you’ve been getting swell!

Over at the surfer/illustration blog Patchies Hideout, Patch has illustrated a few surf bloggers. ResinTint and Warm Jet (blogs you should know) are represented, but my favorite illustration is Push:

I’ve got this deep curiosity about who Pushing Tide is. I dig his wordsmith approach to blogging, his nearly lyrical posts. I dig his dawn patrol ninja vibe… operating alone, riding the waves that would have gone un-ridden. I imagine that if surfing was this important thing that had to be done to keep the world safe, Pushing Tide would be out there at those insane hours… for the rest of us.

Siiiiiiick.

70 bro Skye Walker and fellow artists Chivo, Tj Harmon, Chris Martino, Kip Gerenda, Eric Hardtke have a show this Friday (the 12th) in Solana Beach. All artists are producing work on sustainable Bamboo. Bummed I’m going to miss this one.
