Heather Brown Surf Art X Rip Curl Spring 2015

Aloha Everyone!

My new Spring 2015 line for Rip Curl is now out and available! This is a special line because after 6 years designing for Rip Curl, this will be my last season with them. I am so grateful for the years I have gotten to work with them and so happy that they were always open minded with my ideas and desires to be more environmentally correct in the production of my pieces. I had great experiences working with Pancho Sullivan in Hawaii and Mary Miller from their CA office and design department.  Many Mahalo's to Rip Curl for the support over the years!

We have stock now available on my website Heather Brown Art and we ship worldwide! Stock is limited so you may want to get on it soon!

Inspired by my piece called "Spring" I created this new design for the Spring 2015  Heather Brown for Rip Curl line. I am excited to get on the beach with this one this year for sure!

Working with the same piece but changing some colors is always fun for me and trucker hats are a daily wardrobe piece! The Surf Trip Trucker was created for the Spring 2015 Heather Brown for Rip Curl line.

This looks to be like it will be my favorite new accessory this Spring and Summer. The Surf Trip Beach Bag has all over print and the coolest little leather touches and boat line handles.

The Surf Trip hoodie by Heather Brown for the Spring 2015 Rip Curl line. I am loving this piece for so many reasons, it's soft, the art is nice and tonal with the piece and it is the first non-zip hoodie I have had in a while, and I LOVE IT!!

 Baseball tee's have been quite popular in the recent years because they seem to be so versatile. The Surf Trip Baseball tell is in the Spring 2015 Heather Brown for Rip Curl line.

Happy ALOHA Friday!!

The weeks always start going by faster and faster when my tours get closer for some reason!! Ha ha!
Been super busy painting all of the accompanying material for the new Bird Party record release coming out beginning of December, so that has been really fun and exciting to work on recently! You can check out the 4 pre-release singles for free HERE We will start taking pre-orders shortly for the limited edition 7" vinyl records and special edition record boxes and we are planning a very special record release party in mid December on Oahu, stay tuned for details!

This week I am so happy to announce that I am releasing a very special limited edition giclee on canvas as well as matted print of one of my favorite pieces that I had the honor of painting.

You can now purchase a limited edition of "Mt. Fuji" a piece that I was commissioned to paint back in 2011 for the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief. So many people have asked for it since because of the image and to some the deep meaning behind the piece. "Na Na Na Moe"

Aloha! 

As some of you might already know, I have been working with Rip Curl WOrldwide for about 4 years now after starting off with them as their Artist Of The Search in Rip Curl Europe. Well now I have my own line called "Rip Curl by Heather Brown" with them and during the Triple Crown Season this year they came out for design meetings and to shoot this interview. I am always so stoked to team up with them each season and the line keeps getting better and better. Here is the video interview.

Mahalo for all of your continued support of my career in the arts, you keep motivating me to create more!

2 New Limited Edition Giclees Just Released by North Shore Oahu Surf Artist Heather Brown

Aloha!

As many of you might have known, on January 2, 2012 I had a solo show at The Wyland Gallery in Waikiki. The show was a huge success and so much fun to spend time with long time friends, collectors and new faces as well!
At the show I introduced two new published originals, "Hawai'i Hale" and "Anuenue"
These images are now available as limited edition giclees (edition of only 100 worldwide) as well as in the Artist Proof Edition (only 10, all hand highlighted by me)

Hawai'i Hale (Hawaiian Home) has been a painting that has been circulating in my head for a few years now, I had once done a painting that had a small beach house in it, but it wasn't much of the focus. My dream, along with many others, has always been to live in a nice simple beach house in Hawai'i on a semi-secluded beach with a great fun wave right outside my doorstep. This painting really gives me the feeling of that dream every time I look at it and brings a huge smile to my face as I hope it does to you as well. The original was a 30x40 and sold at the show. The giclees and AP's are now available on my website as well as at the Fine Galleries Worldwide that support my art.

Anuenue (Hawaiian for Rainbow) was an original originally created for Rip Curl for the Rip Curl by Heather Brown line that I have been designing for a few years now. Rip Curl has become such a huge part of my Ohana (family) in the past years and each time I get to meet with them and discuss ideas on the beach on the North Shore of Oahu, ideas just flow like the waves hitting the sand. Anuenue started as a real light sketch and idea just for the design team, but as I got into it, I quickly realized that I wanted to make this into a full painting and as more and more interviewers and visitors to my studio saw it and commented on how much they loved it, it affirmed to me that this was a piece to be published into my portfolio as a new limited edition giclee (only 100 worldwide) as well as an Artist Proof edition of only 10 hand highlighted pieces. The original sold at the show.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we all have because you can not look at a rainbow with a frown!

Fun in San Francisco with Heather Brown, Rip Curl, Green Day and Kelly Slater!

Aloha!

What a whirlwind week! Chris and I left here at 3:30 am on Tuesday to catch our flight to San Francisco and get in some of the action of day 1 of the Rip Curl "Somewhere in San Francisco" Search contest to watch some of the worlds best surfers compete for the first time in Northern California. As many of you know, I have been working with Rip Curl for about 4 years now so it was great to go out there and connect with my Rip Curl Family and enjoy a few days in the City by the Bay.

We arrived to absolutely beautiful weather, sunny, clear, warm and....waves! Some fun swell brought out some great competition as we watched day 1 and 2 down at the beach. We even were right there to watch Kelly Slater win his 11th world title (well kind of win, maybe in hi next heat, see ASP blunders) It was such an exciting day not only with the great surfers from around the world, but being there to see North Shore friends and locals Pancho Sullivan, John John Florence and Freddy P all doing there thing in San Fran!

The first night we were treated to a very cool surprise show put on by Surfrider Foundation and Rip Curl featuring Ty Segall, Kut U Up and very special surprise guests, Green Day!

The second day, the contest was on and conditions were perfect, we had a great perspective from the scaffolding and waters edge.

Kelly Slater after winning his heat and due to an ASP blunder, thinking that he just won the 2011 World Title, which will be his 11th! Sure he will clinch it in his next heat, congrats Kelly!!

Thursday they held the Grom Search and the weather was cold, rainy and windy!! With our thin blood from the Islands, we decided it was a work day, but in between, we checked out SF MOMA and a great gallery holding a really cool exhibition inspired by Wes Anderson's movies called "Bad Dads". The show will be up for a few more weeks at the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco. I love Wes Anderson movies so much and Life Aquatic seems to be the only movie I could watch on repeat, so this was a must see show for me.

Then we walked a mile to get to the best pizza in the USA and hadthe award winning Coal Fired Margheritta Pizza at Tony's in North Beach! MMMMmmmmmm!

Then back on a plane and back home to finish up the work for my November 12, 2011 show at the Heather Brown Gallery in Tokyo! Time to paint! Mahalo and have a great weekend!

Heather Brown and Malibu's Surf Shop!

Aloha!

Sorry for the long delay in posting, we were just on the East Coast for some gallery and store visits as well as a signing event at Malibu's Surf Shop in Ocean City Md. I have never spent much time on the East Coast except for a small time in inland North Carolina, so it was really cool to see different coastal towns and take part in local cuisines and area past times.

We spent time on the Gulf coast of Florida and had the most amazing food all week courtesy of Chris' Mom. We spend days on the beach at the Gulf and strolling through small towns looking into galleries and museums.

We went to the Annapolis/DC area and ate MD Blue crabs! This was my first experience and I am hooked! We went to this great hidden place on the water, Jimmy Cantler's Inn and had so much fun picking crabs. We spent a day on the Chesapeake Bay boating and got to see Annapolis by water and then ate at Hemmingway's right on the bay, it was such a cool experience taking a boat to dinner!

We ended our trip in Ocean City MD with a signing event at Malibu's Surf Shop right on the beach at 8th street. We had so much fun there, people watching, strolling the boardwalk and eating more local favorite foods!

Now we are back in Hawai'i and were lucky enough to catch a rare little North Shore surf this morning to welcome us back. I love to travel but I really love coming home!

Heather Brown Shows at The Wyland Galleries on Oahu

Aloha and Happy Monday!

Wow! What a weekend! 2 shows with the Wyland Galleries here on Oahu. On Saturday I was with the Wyland Gallery up near my home in Haleiwa and Sunday I was with the Wyland Gallery in Waikiki on Lewers St. Both shows were fantastic! I am always so happy to share my new art with new and old fans alike and between the two days I was able to spend time and talk to so many people and share my love of surf art, the ocean, living green and Hawai'i! Thank you all so much for coming out and if you were not able to make it to either of the shows, here is a little sampling of some of the original art that I brought.
Now time to get ready for Haleiwa Arts Festival this coming up weekend!
