St. Patrick's Day update

Well, today is March 17th.. St. Patrick's day! I am 1/2 Irish, so this day has always been important to me and my family. When I was a kid, my Dad used to paint small green footprints on my sister's and my face while we were sleeping (on the night of the 16th) and he and my Mother would leave gifts under our pillows that were from the leprechauns!

I've been pretty sick with a bad stomach virus for the past 2 days, been out for the count, but I'm gettting back in the groove now and I estimate that I will be firing on all 8 cylinders soon. So much stuff on the horizon for the next few months! I'm currently finishing up a new logo for a friend's new surf company, am in the midst of working on 2 commissioned surf paintings, plus the caricature season is starting soon, I have a gig this Saturday in fact. The Beach Street program at the oceanfront is where I create most of my caricatures during the "on" season, I am paid by the city of Va Beach via contract to sit out on Atlantic Ave between 20th and 25th streets for 3 hour sessions in the evenings all summer.. a good gig (This will be my third season working for them). Also the Steel Pier Classic art show and surfing contest is coming up during Memorial day weekend, and I will have my tent set up again this year by the Jetty, selling my custom surf art, skateboard decks, and custom surfboard paintings. In the next few weeks, I will be officially opening my online store on my website (www.thebobzone.com) where I will be selling prints, I'll be keeping everyone posted! If you go to my fanpage, you can enter the "guess the sketch" contest and possibly win one of my prints this month in fact...

My friend Austin Saunders (owner of Austin Surfboards) is having a board sale/swap on April 10th, I am entering a 7'6" Frierson performance board with a wyld painting on the lower deck.. it will be for sale at this event, so check it out...

This past month during Austin's art show, I painted a new custom shaped Austin shortboard and the pictures are up on my facebook page and fan page. My friend Carrie Copenhaven and my wife took video footage of this event as well, and I am currently in the process of editing this movie. I hope to have it up on youtube in a week or so! I'll keep everyone posted...

L8r!
