Steve Friedmantold me about this rad little art show that painter Ian Bowers is putting on at the Jeffery Malesa Gallery in Sorrento until the 15th of December. It’s called Movers & Shapers and it’s quite a unique idea. The paintings feature local shapers and surfers. I missed opening night …

Rusty is touring the movie Surfing Surfaris around Australia at the moment. The film tour is really just an excuse to have a bunch of parties and give away a heap of free stuff. I can’t really see anything wrong with that. Free stuff is good. There’s a show tonight …
