I wonder where I get it...

Wax On Wax Off

This is a watercolor I painted in my 8th grade art class taught by Andrea Reish. It was quite the process too. First, we looked through old islamic artworks to get inspiration. Next, we drew our image in pencil and then we painted it with watercolors. After it was all colored in we covered the entire paper with hot melted wax. When the wax dried we rolled up the paper and crunched it up so that the wax creased and flaked in some areas. After beating the shit out of the work of art that at the time seemed ruined, we proceeded to destroy it even more by painting over the entire painting with black paint until it was nothing but a black piece of paper. Once the black paint dried, we used an iron to melt the black paint and the wax  off the paper. The image came back to life and the black outlines were the finishing touch. Pretty amazing we were learning that in 8th grade. 

I Just Love Surfing...

Life After Death

Carsey Joe

My little brother Carson Wach led San Clemente  High School to winning an extra $10,000 for the arts department at the Hurley Walk The Walk fashion show. He sewed and designed the majority of the clothes for the show. Here's a shot of them celebrating after being handed the check. Carson's the kid wearing the black jacket with blue diamonds up the sleeve holding the picture frame.

Now, Carson works at Hurley full time and stars in Hurley's "Micophone For Youth" webisodes with our good friend Blake Washington. Pretty rad for a couple of kids who started out as interns...Carson's also learning everything about denim design with a guy named Matt Baker who heads the denim design department at only age 20. I guess Matt had his own line of jeans called REKAB at age 15 in Fred Segal and Carson really looks up to him. Carson just got back from Kinkos where he printed out his 7th denim pattern he's designed himself on Illustrator. He's almost positive this is the perfect pattern but it's all trial n error. He's made seven different pairs just to get the right fit. I can't wait to get a pair!

Summer Stylin'

So Kameron and I decided to give some surf lessons this summer. These were our first two groups and they had a blast. The first group was our friends Lilly and Jane who are sisters from Texas. They really like callin' us yall and we can't figure out why..They're cute girls and they happen to love hangin' out down at Sano just like us so we figured we'd connect the dots and teach em' how to surf. Their Dad Sterling's really nice too. He's got the radest van you can imaging. A dually Sprinter that's white with black trim and the full set up inside to store boards for days. He can fit his whole quiver in the thing including two stand up paddle boards and a leaf blower!

hahahahahahhaahhaahha gotta love it...

Lily warmin' up for her lesson.

Kameron flirting as usual...

"Dude, I got beers in the car..."

Plop?

Lily and Jane splittin' the peak.

Now here were the real troopers... These kids were gettin' pinned by their boards, smashed in the shore brake, dragged by their leashes, sand in their mouth, chased by crocodiles and yet they still managed to stand up on their very first waves EVER. I didn't even stand up on my first wave ever! From Left to Right is Cole, Mini Christian, and Chase. These kids are funny lil sand crabs and really know how to chow down the marsh mellows, eating an entire bag between the three of em'. Check out the style these kids got!!
