Hi all.
I'am a french windsurfer and i recently did some graphics about windsurf. I just wanted to test the reactions of other people because about those graphics. Tell me how is your feeling.

Have a nice day.

love #2, but it doesn't need any words, the design speaks for itself (less is more). combine it with #5 and sell it in the Bay area or l'Etang de Berre Smile

oh, and I'm pretty sure I saw Jesus the other day in Berkeley. I think it was him.

Alternate caption for #8: "Walk on water"
or something to that effect

you are talented but why put forth the effort for such a tiny market?

These are very dark and marginal. Sorry to be so conservative, but I would never let my kid wear many of the designs. Amazing how someones persionality comes out in thier art work. Bet you some of your childhood drawings were interesting. I dont look at windsurfing as a "grunge" thing or hardcore "Skate-like" thing with devils and body parts, etc. I look at windsurfing as a natual sport that utilizes Gods creation, the wind. I have more opinions about the designs, but will hold back.

f127,

I love all of them (although from a marketing perspective the 'online shop' one might not go over too well from a 'shop ethics' perspective.

My three favorites are the Jesus one, the Gas Mask one, and the Formula windsurfing Supper-table one.
The supper table one would be even funnier if you combined the Jesus theme with the formula supper-table theme --- you could get a nice "last supper" on the fw, which would be sick!
If I offend anyone with this comment, I apologize - I don't mean to be profane in that sense; I just think it would be a catchy blend of pop-art and sport.

I have been surprised how the windsurfing market in the US is slowly becoming more "progressive" in its fashion sense. For instance, the tabou boards are finally selling in our dry slice of the world, naked chics and all. The penis thing never quite caught on, but "mermaids" with hearts in the background are surprisingly popular.

Keep it up!

Nice work, very creative. Keep up your passion for the Arts.

The last supper would be a slick idea U2. I don't know Jesus too well myself, but he must have been cool with all that hair and beard.

Chili, you don't get out much, do you?
