Jeff Canham Hand Painted Jack Johnson Ad
San Francisco based surf artist Jeff Canham painted this sign for Jack Johnson’s new album Sleep Through The Static on the side of a building near my house in Venice, so I took a picture of it with my Holgaroid.
It’s right on Abbot Kinney across the street from Stroh’s Gourmet. After you check out the sign, since it’s right next door, you should stop in and have a drink at the Roosterfish .

Peter Callesen
This was floating around the blogs a while ago, but I just came across it again, so I figured I’d post it for whoever missed it.
The artists name is Peter Callesen, he’s from Denmark, and he makes each one of his pieces out of a single sheet of cut paper.

HARD BLOW
Thomas from ths.nu is one of my favorite designers. He first came to my attention when he was doing his PDF magazine BEAST. His work is a mixture of illustration, cut and paste photography, Carson-ish typography, and some crazy sexual images, that all come together in a beautiful mess.
He used to sell his 1 of a kind “gluebooks” on the site, I never bought one, and now regret it because I don’t think he’s making them anymore. He’s become a hot commodity in the design world, and I think he’s mostly just doing big money work for big money clients now.
But, the next best thing (and more affordable) is Thomas’ new limited edition monograph for Rojo Books. It’s 240 pages, 110mm x 150mm, and covers his last 7 years of work.

If you live around L.A., might be worth checking out. I’m sure there will be some surf superstars in attendance, might be some good paparazzi moments.

Surfing Photographs from the Seventies Taken by Jeff Divine
As a teenager taking pictures of fellow surfers in 1960s La Jolla, Jeff Divine got to know the original alternative sport before the X-Games were even a gleam in a producer’s eye. Through this rare collection of photographs from the momentous decade that followed, he conveys the feeling of being on the beach in its most creative era, being present at the inception of a subculture too large and photogenic to stay down long. The style, the athleticism and the escapism in these images will be familiar to those with even a lazy eye on pop culture: surfing is on the rise again.
