Some people have mentioned that this has something of a “Last Supper” feel to it – that wasn’t my intention at the time, but I can kind of see it now, especially with the marlin having his fins out like he does. It’s funny how artwork can be influenced subliminally.

My rule at the start was that I would never say no to a job. I took every opportunity that came my way; Airbrushing surfboards, designing t-shirts, building websites, flash animation, photoshop. The hard work I had put into learning all of these skills was definitely paying off. I was working for anybody and everybody.

Before my class one week, I was at the beach staring out at the sea, thinking about what to do – I knew I wasn’t in a position to be able to go to art school like some of my friends had done, but I was just praying and contemplating life, when I saw a dolphin jump up out of the ocean. I’ve always loved dolphins and had an affinity for them. It felt like a really significant moment for me. I went to my art class and as I was walking into the classroom, my teacher, Glenda Taylor, mentioned to me a local surf shop was looking for artists to design their surfboards. I told her I’d have to miss that week’s class.

Ahoy, humans! Old Salty here, giving you an update from Diossy Towers. My buddies at the Raw Bar have been telling me they’ve all been using the net lately (which makes a change from getting caught in one) so I thought I’d put the beer down, get my fish fingers tapping at this here keyboard and tell you the latest goings on – fresher than today’s sushi.
