Outerlands Art Auction at Mollusk SF


Friendly neighborhood cafe starters Lana Porcello and David Muller are opening a new cafe in the Sunset called Outerlands, a wonderful little restaurant a few blocks away from Mollusk Surf Shop. They need just a little more help to get the place opened and running, so a bunch of us have donated artwork to be sold via silent auction. Please come out and listen to some music, meet the folks, and maybe go home with a great piece of art...

See you there!

Friday, May 30th, 6:30p-10pm
Mollusk SF (at Irving & 46th)

art by michelle blade, thomas campbell, manuel caro, alberto cuadros, kyle field, bryson gill, rachel kaye, alex kopps, jeffrey manson, barry mcgee, serena mitnik-miller, kyle mock, jay nelson, hillary pecis, caleb rogers, nat russell, bennet schlesinger, jesse schlesinger, orion sheppard, johanna st. clair, mason st. peter, rob streff, david wilson, and more!

new sled for nuno



Nuno offered me his version of Portuguese aloha during my stay in NY. Cush rides in his Mercedes wagon, beers aplenty, and some of the best company anyone could ask for. (Sorry I couldn't make it over for Bete's home cooking - I'll have to visit you in Portugal for some octopus!)

If anyone see Nuno in the water, give him a wave---you'll get two right back!

right coast customs!































Super thanks to the Falcone family for putting me up while shaping in the Grey Ghost creation station, and for all the yummy manicotti and paella!

Body shakas to Chris Gentile and the Mollusk family for letting us crash in the studio after bending limits of human endurance in the wee hours...

Thank you thank you thank you to Dutchie, Dubstar, and Chris for organizing the custom orders and putting up with all the questions and concerns (is my board ready yet?)...

And lastly, super thanks to Joe Falcone for letting me shape in your awesome little shaping bay...the most fun I've had in NY ever!
