Surf Artist Andy Davis and Billabong have partnered up to release his new surfing apparel line. The line features 18 pieces, that are either 100% organic cotton or recycled material. Tee-shirts, Boardies Hats and Woven shirts. Surfdogs favorite is the Pellyman Tee-shirt. You know he is rockin it in Key West! From the release:
“I’m just totally stoked,” said Davis. “It’s a dream set-up as far as I’m concerned. And I’m very excited to now be able to produce a line showcasing my art that is 100% organic or recycled. That’s very important to me.”
Davis’s latest batch of designs feature a number of free-and-easy themes familiar to his legion of fans, including 1970s-influenced characters slouching stylishly through perfect tubes, idyllic tropical scenes and funky seabirds in flight. The “Ando” look has become iconic in the surf art scene in the last 15 years, appearing in innumerable magazine stories, surf movie posters, gallery exhibitions and industry auctions.
“It’s all light-hearted and fun,” said Davis in describing the vibe of his latest creations. “It’s surf-driven, but there are many other elements beyond just riding waves which make up the spirit of the surf and beach lifestyle. I try to capture that feeling in my art.”
“This is the first time an outside artist has collaborated with us on a project of this sort and so far the response has been incredible,” said Rob McCarty, design director at Billabong. “Andy’s art is in a style that Billabong is not known for, and this collection will have its own clear identity. It will speak to another group of customers who are after an alternative look.”
