SURF

I found these paintings by Raymond Pettibon at the end of last week, in my naivete tried to find a print or poster, only to find out he's a. pretty famous; b. pretty cool; and therefore c. no way was i getting my grubby little paws on a print - unless someone has $5000 they would like to share with me.

I love surf brands and surf movies in particular - a very cool, distinct sense of style that is definitely coming back into play with the return of all things 1990's. I think we'll see a combination of the 1960's original surf aesthetic, plus the harder edged, more 'fetish' side of surf style, with rips, studs, seams, check, bandanas and printed cotton jersey - and hopefully less of the funky fish graphics.

With perfect synchronicity, the Raymond Pettibon pictures are accompanied by shots from Hedi Slimane that I found this morning.
