Sheep Surfari - Acrylic Canvas by Cookie

What does Salvador Dali, surfing and sheep have in common? During an airbrushing trip around Spain in the 90's, Cookie visited Dali's Museum and his home town of Cadaques. The colours of the sea and the sky in the bay was the obvious inspiration for Dali's skies. Returning from that trip in time for the Newquay Surf Festival, he found the sky and sea on his airbrushed tees took on a deeper brighter blue. 30 years later with the rising popularity of The Flockers, it seemed the time was right to put these elements together. A freedom from the fields for The Flockers, and a paddle out into great memories to surf them for a while. But not forgetting the wipeouts.

Kangaroo Crossing - Acrylic

whilst airbrushing T-shirts at the Hamburg Boat Show in 1995, amongst the requests for sharks chasing surfers and octopus chasing divers, a German who was emigrating to Australia, requested a diamond shaped crossing sign on the back of a t-shirt. Wanting to make more of a cartoon scene, Cookie airbrushed how he imagined the sign might assist the kangaroos rather than the vehicles. Strangely, for a boat show, this became his best seller. Though he had to airbrush it freehand, over and over again. There was another airbrush artist from Hamburg at the show, he mainly worked with stencils and was having a quiet time due to being stuck at the back of the hall. Though he and Cookie spoke none of another's language, a deal was done where Cookie airbrushed the outline and Erik added the colour. After some cartoon tuition, Erik went on to airbrush kangaroos crossing at several shows across Germany and bought Cookie a Weissbier the following year.
