SURFERS AND SKATERS!

"When you're diving at night, and your feet feel the bite, that's a Moray..." a Moray Eel that is! I painted bikini babies each day at the Surf Expo this year with an poisonous aquatic theme: Octopus, Eel, Lionfish, and Sharks. See facebook.com/bsbart for snapshots of the Great White sharks.

Rachel had a super cute peach and plum bikini, so I painted an octopus with those colors, to kind of camouflage the suit. She was incredibly brave modeling on the half pipe, posing while twelve or so skaters zoomed around her in a lineup for the camera. She is an avid surfer, and told me about the cut throat nature of wave thieves. Model: Rachel. Ryder Gledhill Photography
