Thomas Campbell, one of my favorite artists, makes amazing paintings/drawings that look like an interesting mix of computer graphic design and doodles. He also makes super cool surf movies that focus less on the most famous surfers on the professional circuit and more on people who are doing interesting things more on the fringes of the surf world. His most recent movie, The Present has a part about a growing number of people riding surfboards that are essentially just a thin plank of wood with no fins on the bottom.
The website/blog www.woolwoodandwhiskey.com writes a good entry about him leading up to a local showing of The Present.
