Ozzie Wright

As a first post to the blog i felt featuring the artwork of surfer/artist Ozzie Wright would be a good way to set the tone of things come.

He's certainly a person that packs a creative punch, whether he's surfing, painting or making music everything he does is full of energy and colour. Here's what the clothing label Volcom have to say about their veteran member:

"Ozzie", "Oska", "Oz", Oscar Billy Pippen Wright is not your a-typical professional surfer, oh no, he is so much more then that. Artist, musician, film-maker; a winged manimal on a mission. Hailing from the Land Down Under, Sydney Australia to be exact, he has been riding for Volcom for ten years now. In that time he has also grown into an art juggernaut turning out beautifully spastic and distinctively raw pieces. Some of you may also know him simply as "Fang Fight Right the Wizard of Death" lead crooner of the wildly popular super-teen group "The Goons of Doom". With his band mates, Cut-Throat Cowboy, Vaughan Dead and Killer Whale having conquered the land behind the Orange Curtain they have since played Tokyo, Hollywood and are hoping to go to New York this year. He is also the man behind the pen behind the zine that is "Dope Comics". Ozzie is a bat-winged gypsy, a drifting son of a bat, a high flying rodent of many talents spreading his messy sort of sound and color to the world around him and we thank him for that!
