Check out this pic! It's of surfer/multi-water sportsman Robbie Naish paddle boarding the Venice Canals in Italia! I thought it was pretty sweet! the caption read, "Forget hiring a gondolier, as Robbie Naish demonstrates, it's cheaper to bring your own rig to Venice"
Love it!

I came across Brazilian Artist Tom Veiga yesterday and loved what I saw. The images I found are from the collection entitled "Serie Waves." Here are just a few of the my faves but you can check out more of his work here. Mind you its all in Portuguese...
Oh and I totally picked the J Bay one out because that's where the ASP boys are now.. Next stop on the tour is Teahupoo! Can't wait to see who takes it!
Enjoy!

Opening Day!

So it's that time of year again! The ponies are back in Del Mar! We went to Opening day at the track yesterday to so a little drinking and betting! I found some old school photos from the 1930's as well as a couple from yesterday.. All I have to say is its still "cool as ever"

David Klein for TWA

I was surfing the net today after work and came across these awesome vintage Trans World Airlines (TWA) posters! They are by American Illustrator David Klein who created these for Howard Hughes' airline in the 1950's and 60's. Klein created dozens of vibrant posters using his abstract style to depict famous landmarks in his work for the airline. He ultimately defined the state of poster art for the period. In 1957, Klein was honored by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) when they included his TWA poster of Times Square into it's permanent collection.

I Love Love LOVED these images when I saw them and it was hard to narrow it down to only a few but I had to include the New York, and Washington DC posters since I just visited the cities a week ago and Las Vegas, because I will be traveling there again next month...
Then there is Paris. Oh Paris, I will one day soon visit you too..

Vogue

So I was looking through some art prints and note cards that I've collected through the years and I came across this Vogue note card that I bought a few years ago. The card is from Vogue magazines Jan 1927 cover (first image). I loved it when I saw it. Conde Nast, the man who bought Vogue in 1909, pressed for all covers to be done by the best illustrators and photographers of the time and as a result the magazines covers reflect the art movements of each decade of the 20th century. These are just a few of my favorites!
