ROCK´N ROLL



This year I spend my holidays in Central America ,traveling trough Panama,Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
This time I couldn´t resist to also paint something during the trip.
Unfortunately,I forgot my textile colors at home and  I took just edding markers,sketchbook and some wathercolors with me.
The last 11days of our surf trip we spend on Guasacate beach ( Nicaragua ) in a nice hostel called Popoyo Loco : https://www.facebook.com/Hostelpopoyoloco?fref=ts .
People here are very nice and friendly and the waves are good here for beginners or also for good surfers ,too.So, once you´re traveling to Nicaragua you should stop by here for sure.


When one of the surfer found out I´m a painter and saw some of my designs on my instagram account,He asked me to also paint his surfboard. I must say I was really happy that I can paint a surfboard again and I like José a lot so it was also a pleasure for me.
His only condition was that He wants a bony hand there and everything else was up to me...
As I always say: "I love challenges ! " and this one was good for me.
I imagined for him a design with a bony hand that comes out of the wather. It should symbolize that you should  never give up and even you loose, you should stand up and catch another wave.
During the painting  it has become a rock´n roll hand ...
I used only the edding markers for this design and it took me like 3days of work,because I couldn´t paint during the nights (there was no good light)and I wanted to spend also some time in the ocean.

And here is the final Rock ń Roll painting !
       I finished the surfboard design right in time for José´s birthday,so it was a perfect gift for him.
Now ,when I look at the pictures of him riding the waves on this board I´m really happy that I made it.I think this design perfectly fits to his personality and it was a pleasure for me to make something for this crazy guy.
