Vers & Two Crows Surfboards


Aloha Monday! We visited the Two Crows surfboards workshop to start a drawing- on Matt's new board! Nick Welles, who glasses the boards, has his own artistic style and puts a lot of fun colors into the boards (which makes for a great background). We'll post a photo of the finished board when it's complete, until then you can check out the playful boards of Two Crows Surfboards here.

Live Painting at ConTempo 2013


We had a great time last night painting live at the fundraiser for the Honolulu Museum of Art!
Artists were paired with local clothing designers, and we painted on a white aloha shirt. We decided to paint Kalo (taro, the Hawaiian staple food) with overlapping ripples of water, and added blue stripes to the pocket to give it a contemporary feel. You can see the five final pieces worn by models to show them off to guests- the garments were auctioned off at the end of the night!

ConTempo 2013


Sketching out an idea for the live painting we'll be doing on this beautiful Tori Richard's aloha shirt! It's happening on Saturday at ConTempo, the annual Honolulu Museum of Art fundraising gala! This final piece of wearable art will be auctioned at the end of the night to benefit the museum :)

Our "Tools of the Trade" shirt in Bali


Here's a repost from the instagram feed of Joel Fitzgerald, a professional surfer and surfboard shaper! He is sporting our "Tools of the Trade" tee at the shaping room of Dues Ex Machina in Bali. We love his wave-riding style and his friendly personality! You can follow his surfing adventures on Facebook here.

Ready to Ride!


We finally made a surf rack in the Vers studio to store our boards! 
Lucky for us the ocean is just a short walk away, now we're all set for the South swells!

In the Press


 We're so happy and grateful for the positive reactions we've gotten for our mural! Pictures of our mural were posted on several high-profile blogs, including BOOOOOOOM, Juxtapoz Magazine, and Grafuturism.  We had to pinch ourselves, to make sure we weren't dreaming! ;)
