It's official; I'm feeling very grateful & just basically stoked to be chosen by Rip Curl to represent them as their next; "Artist of the Search". Previous artists on this project have included the very talented, Tyler Warren & Hawaii's talented, Heather Brown.
Here's a couple of collages of mine that seems to have caught their design teams eye...

The original collages I'll be creating for them will go onto bikinis, board shorts, T's, Flip Flops and Bags globally. Ready set go! Off to Brazil soon to meet up with their Global design team.
