Steve Klinsky Ceramics at Encinitas City Hall

My friend and local ceramic artist Steve Klinsky is showing his work at Encinitas City Hall. He just had a show at the Library as well. I have been very lucky to acquire a number of pieces from him over  the years. His work inspires me and his glazes are amazing. He gas fires his work and can spend up to 14 hours managing his firings.

Check out his website for more shots of his work.  www.klinskyceramics.com

Here's a really cool fin design by Brandon Turner. Look at it. You just want to get lost in all those curves. I love it. Thanks Brandon.

David's Surfline Shot

Here's David's shot from this week that made it on surfline. Enjoy.

It might not be big but it still takes commitment!

Here's a cool little sequence David sent over. Two things I love about these. One, the first shot with the pelicans in the background. It's just soulful. Two is the last shot with him in the tube with a dry reef below. That just shows commitment.

I'm curious if he has the rest of the sequence. Did he make it?

Recycled Art - Water Mosaic from Old Surf Mags by Cheryl Sorg

My friend and local artist Cheryl Sorg hooked me up with a few of her recycled art pieces using old surf magazines as the medium. This 18" x 18" piece is made entirely of wave and water shots cut into 1 inch squares and taped together to form a mosaic.  We showed this work before as large sheets. She took those and made smaller pieces from it. I love it. Thanks Cheryl!
