The Art Show, Saturday Feb. 20th

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, and I'm getting back to my blog.. This past Saturday was the art show at Austin Surfboards, and it was a great time! My wife Heather and I arrived at the surf shop at around 4:30 pm to set up, and by the time the show started at 6 pm, we were ready to go. Austin had a new shortboard ready for me to paint, and for the next 3 hours I gave a painting demonstration (a groovy wave design). Several other artists were there too, and they also had a complimentary beer tasting by the local brewery "Gordon Biersch". Go to my facebook fan page to see the pictures!

My second blog, Sat. feb. 13, 2010

Well it's still wicked cold outside, snowing some, and the ocean temp is like 36 degrees.. so I'm inside catching up on some freelance logo work today. I have finished building the interface for my new web store on my website (www.thebobzone.com) and now all I have to do is order some shipping boxes, put the paypal code in place and then the webstore will be ready! I am hoping to have all this done within the next month, I have so many projects going on that I have to keep this on the back burner for a little while. For all you Virginia Beach Locals, I will be participating in an art show/beer tasting event at Austin's Custom Surfboards surf shop on 19th street next Saturday (the 20th) from 6-9 pm. It's gonna be a blast! I will be doing a custom surfboard painting exhibition as well (I'll be painting a new Austin board with some kind of wyld design.. leaning heavily toward crazy sea serpent,, I love doing those!) Peace.. Bob

My first post~!

Well, today is February 6th 2010, and I finally have started a blog. Man, I am so busy right now with so much new stuff going on! 3 paintings to finish (2 surf paintings for Bill Davis, 1 abstract for Ken Sturgis), 3 logo designs (Longrider surfboards, Shalyn surf designs, and Wompass waterworks), the Neptune Festival children's book, the list goes on... but hey, it's good to be busy! When it's cold and nasty out, I don't mind staying inside and doing all this work too, it's like pullin teeth sometimes in the spring and summer though when the water starts warming up.. like Turtle from the movie North Shore said, "hey brah, when surf's up, nobody work"...

On February 20th, I am giving a paint pen on surfboard demonstration at Austin's surf shop on 19th street from 6-9 pm. He is having an art show and beer tasting event for folks 21 and up, and several other surf artists will be there too.. it ought to be a blast! Also I will be doing board painting demonstrations at WRV on Saturdays in the summer starting in June. Plus the Steel Pier Classic art show in May!

Last thing to announce tonight, I have been working hard on my web store and have been busy creating giclee prints of my paintings, and I am hoping to have the store ready by sometime in early March. I will be selling 23 different prints in several different sizes ( 8.5" x 11", 13" x 19" and 18" x 24" ).. so stay tuned! Peace.... Bob
