June 3rd

I enjoy seeing artists at work in studios, and how they have it all set up
Hanks Mc Cordy - some weaved piece reminiscent of tangled fishing lines

Milwa's recycled wonders made with heat guns and soldering irons and PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is natural, \made from oil, cis highly recyclable, can be re-transformed again, and again in many ways.


"Compelling design can move millions and transcendent art can inspire a generation." - anonymous


We all need to have something that we do, that keeps us growing in our philosophies, evolving, and living life, art is one of those things. Hobbies are important. I guess I named my blog surftopia, because for some, surf obsessed individuals, that would be their utopia, a surftopia, a nod to idealism, and the absurd pursuit of recreational sport. Forget a box of chocolates, how about a chocolate city...Should I surf some sloppy crowded beachbreaks, or some supercrowded pointbreak perfection, in surftopia, you don't make those decisions, it's all right there, glassy, 80 degrees, and offshore, like Costa Rica twenty years ago. Not everyone surfs, but surfing is a metaphor for so many things you could be doing in life. Surfing and art go hand in hand since there is so much creativity involved in both. You have to have style, and grace. You have your own personal space, your own world, in the water, and in your head. Your surfing together, but your really surfing with yourself. Blogging could be a lot of things to alot of people, a good read, nice pictures, links, and ideas, sharing what is important to ourselves to find other people who are too.Maybe this blog can be a list of things I find groovy, intermingled with waves, life, and world news
