Tropical Dreams

 Just returned from Hawaii. Here are a few pictures (more on the way)of some of the things seen and done. All I can say is I love that place. Friends, waves, surf and sun. This morning it seemed like some kind of lucid long dream than a reality that had happened. So much so that I found most of my thoughts today to be ending about still being there with my wife, on the beach, with the warm breeze,just the sound of waves,palm trees and the taste of salt on the lips.

The real locals.

 I was sitting around one day thinking about grumpy locals you see near the ocean. Every surf spot has at least one. The guy who just can't be happy even though they live near the ocean and surf all the time. They always seem to be swearing and wearing a frown. Hating on anyone that would dare smile and have fun with the same thing they do. It got me thinking...do the animals of the ocean act this way too? I doubt it, but wouldn't it be funny. So I thought of the loudest most obnoxious sea creatures I could in the local waters here. The kind that are always making some kinda fuss. And that's what follows...The real locals. Prints will be coming up if anyone is interested.

The stinging jelly.

The squawking gull.

The barking sea lion. 

New post!

It's been a busy end of summer but I finally have some time to get some things I've been working on up here. When I haven't been racing paddleboards, surfing, or at the gym, I've been working on a bunch of design projects. Here's a few of the latest from vidlab....

A few more for a local haunt...completely reworked the logo.Started here with loose sketches..

After going through more roughs started to dive into different looks...

Then the final they liked....

Then it was time to get the poster,Facebook, passes, web banners, t-shirts, etc etc ready....

Also been doing some work for Pretzelwagen.

So if you happen to see a VW van parked selling pretzels around town, make sure you stop and get one. They are delicious!! Tell em Renick sent you.

So sorry about the lack of posts...if anyone is even reading this. I've been pretty busy but will try and keep up.
