So many great artists have incorporated surf imagery into their work, whether they actually partake in our favorite passtime or not. This is going to be a recurring feature on Sissyfish (during those thumb twiddling dry-spells) where I showcase my favorites, many of whom directly influence my own paintings and drawings.The first in the series is David Shrigley. His simple sketches and hilarious writing captivated me when I first found a his book on Urbane Outfitters' clearance rack for 5 bones. Over the last five years I 've collected as many of his books as I can find and visit his website often for a good laugh. Click on the image above to see what I mean.

Thanks Totor. Pettibon is totally on my list! I'll check those links now!
great art. and what a babe! hossegor? you're living the good life!
I was born there, but I live in Bordeaux (yes the wine city), 2 hours drive far.
But I still surf a lot in Hossegor.
Celine Chat (which funnily means "cat") is talented and very cute, you're right...
I drive 1.5 hours to the beach from Portland. But our wine country, though pretty decent with Pinot Noir, doesn't hold a candle to Bordeaux! Must be nice to have a carafe of good wine after a surf.
Goodness, there's a great deal of useful info in this post!
