With a growing interest, plus some progress in taking video footage and editing in imovie, this page is the place to see completed reels.
My movie making (ha!) is still in development, and at this point the majority of content is from my work with surfboards. In this environment I can set up a tripod and capture long periods of the procedure undertaken to spray and apply artwork to surfboards, before sifting through the footage and editing to a finished reel.
That said, I look forward to capturing more of my art, graphic illustration and collage processes as pieces are worked on and completed.

Just had to add this moment from the surfboard factory. All's well that ends well! But not without initial surprise and some quick steps to control the mishap.
When anyone new starts working with surfboards, the first advice shared, is to be prepared for unfortunate incidents. Every stage of making a surfboard is peppered with pitfalls, some irreversible. There are fragile blanks, volatile resins, chemicals and paints to juggle and corral into a finished, watertight surfboard.
This gaffe was all my doing, and something I had not done before. I mean, you wouldn't want to make such a ridiculous blunder twice. To tighten the lid is a very clear and simple requirement to avoid disaster. I learnt quickly and tightened the bottle lids really well when I flipped over the surfboard to paint the deck.
