Welcome to Bumpsquash blog, the first in a series relating to art and various surf related activities. We are evolving and the word Bumpsquash is a functional design description for a surfboard with obvious absurdist overtones. The image to the right is a pastel drawing of mine titled Seen and Heard describing itself and a scene and herd situation. I am a fan of the blog as a DIY aesthetic and social fabric. The drawing is of an installation in New York City installed at David Zwirner Gallery by the artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. Rirkrit built a plywood box cafe and served thai food for free. The group pictured seemed bright and engaged reveling in the gesture. This is the spirit of this blog.
