Hi! 👋 ... I gotta come up with a greeting for my followers that doesn't sound like I'm trying too hard... Hey my water people! What's up, ocean lovers? Surfs up my dudes! I'll keep working on it 😬

Anyway, stickers ARE coming soon! We had a little hiccup in production and now I'm going away for a week, so it'll be NEXT weekend for sure! I'm really excited!

Hi ocean lovers! Here are a few wave doodles I've been sketching recently. I know posts don't go far on insta but sometimes I just wanna give my followers something they can look at for as long as you want. So enjoy! I feel like some of these could turn into fun stickers, maybe with some sea critters added in, what do you think?

Welcome surfers and ocean lovers! Welcome to my new followers and thanks to my OG's for being here! I've been slowed down the past six months by life events, but I'm getting back into drawing again.

I feel like I've grown a lot artistically since I started Surf Lessons and there's so much more to explore. I've got new ideas for stories and characters and it's only going to get better from here, even if I'm slow as heck.

Luckily, I've got plenty of free time since the surf stinks this summer. 😭 🤣 🫠

Thanks for coming along for the adventure! 🌊 💙

I love the Fourth of July in Santa Cruz. Gorgeous weather, great hikes, good vibes. BUT, a LOT of trash gets left on the coast. You leave it on the beach, it goes into the ocean, simple as that.

Please respect our beautiful bay this weekend and PACK YOUR TRASH!

Behind the Capitola @cineluxtheaters hides this week’s #muralmonday, a community favorite, but one you may have also passed a hundred times without realizing it’s there. Artist @surf_lessons_comics (Laurel Bushman) painted this in 2017 to honor the beloved humpback mural that once lived on this wall, but this time celebrating the whales and dolphins that inhabit and swim along our Monterey Bay coastline. This mural was a true community effort, brought to life through the Regional Artisans Association and a wonderful group of local volunteers. When I pass by this piece I can’t help but think of an exquisite paint by numbers painting and when researching about this particular mural, I loved seeing a photo of Laurel where she had laid it out in such a style with numbers signifying what color needed to go where. This one is definitely worth a closer look whenever you happen to be in the area!

Hi! I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone here following my comics adventure. I've fallen off my comics schedule because I'm like, a normal person with a busy life and a job and all that, just like we all are. I think everyone here wants to share creativity and build community, even if we get derailed now and again.

I see you and appreciate you!

I will keep drawing comics, though not as fast as I'd like, because that's life. Thanks for sticking with me!
