James Durbin Surfboard art by Kevin Walsh


May 10, 2011 11:04 AM
First meeting with Kevin and Hilary Bryant to show rough direction of James Durbin graphic. Thank you to Christine for sending me photos.

Kelly's coffee and AJ Heart sandwich in hand for Kevin. I bring more reference images and search on my laptop to find Kevin an image of the other end of the riding crop James Durbin is holding in the reference image. We are down to the wire. I stay for an hour and then leave so he can work free of distraction. I'll be back in two hours.

Kevin Walsh finishing up the board Saturday morning. Coloring directly on to the surfboard with paint pens. A little pressure as we stopped the project Wednesday night thinking it was not a rush anymore but then got word Thursday it was back on. Scramble.

Doug Haut came by to check out the board for the first time before we head to his factory to spray and get it to Hilary.

Kevin Walsh right before taking it to the Haut Surf Shop for the final spray coat of Acrylic and a little polish. As we were driving out Hilary Bryant was driving into the driveway to pick it up. We drove down to the Haut Surf shop. Deadline for pick up noon.

Stage photos by Hilgard Muller of Springbok Design

Didn't mention the 1:15 in the am drive by to see if by chance Kevin was working on it Friday night since I had a shoot on Friday all day and we never hooked up.

Durbin Day in Santa Cruz, May 14 at the Boardwalk

Working on project for American Idol James Durbin Santa Cruz Boardwalk show with less than a week to go. Big thank you for all of those helping out.




This brings tears to my eyes every time. What a talented young man. I am honored to be working on the project for local boy James Durbin. This should be good for our little town, hit hard by the economy, tsunami, Capitola Flood. Great to have some positive event planned ahead.

The Santa Cruz Patch win or loose it's going to happen.

Dave Zabriskie Thank you framed photo

Thank you for the nice gift today Dave Zabriskie, that was very kind. I was thinking a 8 x 10 stock photo and was pleasantly surprised to pick this up at one of Matt's establishments on the Boardwalk today.
Matt the kids had fun at the Boardwalk today. Thanks. Grandpa and grandma too. The calm before the storm so to speak. Looks like summer is already going on at the beach. Fun times.

Amgen Stage 3 Haut Surfboard

Met my dad at Doug Hauts shop so he could take some photos of the finished board. Was happy to meet Matt there. Cycling and art two of my favorite combinations next to skate and surf and snow...it's all good.

Santa Cruz Amgen Stage 3 first place prize.
I feel lucky and don't take any project for granted. Graphic design and sports is a fun combo.
