Surf artist and inspiration Thomas Campbell’s goods at my buddy Shem’s house in VERMONT
Just writing to say that I really enjoy your art! After discovering it via Grain myspace, I finally got to see the real deal in Portsmouth, NH last week- so neat to see all the details, the brush strokes, the layering that become more apparent by a real viewing. Anyways, your pieces invoke similar feelings that I have about surfing, art, nature & life and as an obsessive of that particular aesthetic, (T-Moe, Twist, Margaret Kilgallen, Griffin, Severson etc.) I felt that I had to write…so i am.
I appreciate the honesty and humor that you put in your work. My favorite kind of art captures those human moments that are so familiar, especially those moments only known to people who love the sea (though I think a lot of surf art out there is a bit mundane really). I certainly am inspired.
Keep on doing what you do.
Sincerely,
Mimi Roterman
