One of my favorite designer/artists is Evan Hecox. He does a lot of skate deck series and handwriting for Chocolate and has prints available at Arkitip. He has the best handwriting:
I have a series of 6 of his decks I'm planning on mounting on my wall. I will post them when I get them up.
This is one of my favorite surf movies. It's not the usual surf movie. It's a good example of current surf culture without all the thrashy thruster hype. Thomas Campbell is a California artist and surfer, among other things.
I came across the site for Element, a small design and marketing group in Columbus, Ohio. They have a friendly neighborhood sort of feel, but what I like most is the type in their logo. It all goes well together.
