At the airport waiting for the red-eye to Nicaragua. Looking forward to kicking out this mural project with Abby and Andrew, doing some surfing and just enjoying the time away. This is Abby’s first trip out of the U.S. and should be one for all time – plus our first big project together. Keep posted to the blog for project updates and photos of the process, you won’t want to miss this.

Well, we did it again and scored another mural gig in Nicaragua. This project will be for Lance & Kristen Moss at Surfari Charters. Lance caught us finishing up Tony’s mural at The Surf Sanctuary and liked it so much he felt he needed one too. The specs are very similar to The Sanctuary’s, a deep sea underwater scene with dolphin, marlin and the associated bait fish for pelagic fish. The project will be completed in his bar seating area and poses some creative challenges within the space – which we always enjoy. With the extra time we had to plan for this project we were able to complete some detailed sketches to help push us in new directions. Also, as an added benefit we are bringing along Abby Salter on this trip to lend us her very talented artistic skills. Enjoy the pics and keep checking back for updates.

Heading out the door to Ft. Lauderdale to catch my flight to Nicaragua. Along with the objective to catch some waves, fish, and check out the surroundings of Playa Santana, Andrew and I are going to be completing a mural for The Surf Sanctuary. So I am loaded to bear with tons of supplies. Lucky for me I am not carrying any boards, Andrew is supplying me with some nice Shapes by Jay Gordon.

Hello world!

Andrew here,
I’m done with my season on the motor yacht working as the first mate…I made a little gallery for everyone to check out what life was like for me over the past few months!

Check it out…Season Yacht Gallery

I’ll be here at The Surf Sanctaury until the end of summer. This is an open invitation to all to come visit!!!

By the way, you might have heard- Eric and I are currently working on a new web identity for The Surf Sanctuary.  The old site— errr uhmm, was not our creation.

Well, after the long battle to get our blog up and running we finally have succeeded! Overall I’m very happy with how the site turned out and feel it consistently fits within our brand development. In fact, I kind of wish the Latro12 site looked more like this – one step at a time though.

Through the trials and tribulations of setting up the blog (had to start over 6 times) I gained a lot of respect for WordPress and can see the potential that this tool has in creating larger more functional sites. Now that the hard part is over I am looking forward to not only expanding my knowledge of this application but actually putting it to good use. With several new projects lining up in the que each has it’s own unique challenge that will help push our web skills in new exciting directions.
