W Blair Tom...
Is an artist, historian, surfer, skateboarder, teacher, and general enthusiast of fun and good times. Always searching for new experiences, Blair and his employer Drew brainstormed the idea of producing hand planes out of old skateboard decks for bodysurfing. Inspired by this idea Blair enveloped himself in this new process of woodworking and pyrography, the art of burning images into a surface. Blair has painted extensively for over 15 years, always doodling, and this new art form has sparked a redevelopment and exploration of his creative side. Currently he is finishing his Master's thesis at Sonoma State University on the history of surf culture and surfer migration into El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Sk8planes and other works:
The artwork presented in this show includes many hand planes, sealed in a combination of oils or epoxy resins. Also, there are several wood panel pyrography pieces and painting. The most current works are the Sk8planes with pyrography. Using a wood burning machine the artist is able to create images that blend into and also enhance the natural beauty of the wood and skateboards.
