meet david macomber of shark sugar
We recently came across artist and east coaster David Macomber and instantly connected to his work. We currently have 3 of his limited prints in our shop, but wanted to share a bit more about the artists behind the work. Below is a bit about david and some photos of him doing his thing.
Shark Sugar – Telling the story of surfing through pixels & paintbrushes The Art & Fotography of David Macomber
David was born and raised in New Jersey, where he spent his summers enjoying surfing and the beach and the winters freezing cold. After High School, he quickly made an exodus to warmer weather and enrolled in Brooks College of Design in Long Beach California. While in California, he would spend his mornings surfing and would regularly be late to class. After not graduating, he has spent the last 10 years working as a professional graphic designer. The last 2 years David worked as the lead designer for HyperFlex Wetsuits. He is currently working as a freelance artist and designer (occasionally he can be found cleaning gutters and recycling cans)
The ingredients to his art work are from photos he takes, mixed with a splash (or two) of spray paint and hand drawn lettering. Combining all these elements, his goal has become telling the story of surfing and the life that surrounds it – Retelling those moments in and out of the water. Hopefully sparking the memory of those who lived it or inspiring those who observe it.
We are very excited to share David’s work with all of you, and hope you find a special spot in your home or a loved one’s home for his work. Stay in touch with all David’s doings on his site shark sugar.

the re-evolution has begun.
on september 10th a new “thing” happened. not something that required a new fancy outfit, the best gear, or the coolest shoes. this “something” marked the start of a re-evolution. our close friends grain surfboards hosted along with korduroy.tv hosted, what we believe to be, the most game changing event the surf community has seen it a while now- the surf re-evolution. they opened up their doors and farm to a handful of other shapers, builders and creators of surf craft that embody innovation and commitment to sustainability. corduroy was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take over the barn and curate a small group which was a huge success. to read more about all the special guests, visit grain’s post event write up here. below are some photos from the event, both by nick lavecchia and jim mcginley.
visit our online shop to take a piece home from the show.
stay tuned on this “something”- because i know for sure that it is just the beginning.

“noontide longboard quiver” by scott patt
about a year ago we had the pleasure of working with artist scott patt and his collection “good luck.” it was by far one of favorite shows, and we were also lucky enough to stay friends with scott and keep in touch.
just a bit a go scott informed me that he was doing a follow up collection to this, appropriately entitled “good luck again.”
above is my most favorite… scott definitely knows what to do with color…
these new works are currently on display at the grass hut in portland, oregon.
