Photos + Design for DriftFebruary 15, 2010

A new feature up on Drift, Andrew Smith interviews Manuel Caro. I designed and photo edited the feature and contributed photography (the shaping bay photos):




Lines Converge: Manuel C. Caro’s Prismatic Path

Interview: Andrew Smith
M.Caro Portrait: Jay Watson
Shaping Bay photos and Art Direction: Ed Fladung
Hand drawn type: Beth Fladung

Drift has a new feature up, Andrew Smith interviews Manuel Caro of Mandala Custom Shapes and it’s a barn burner. Amazing read. Mani Caro simply and beautifully illustrates how the dharmic knowledge of handmade surfboards is silently transferred from older generations to new generations of shapers, ensuring that surfing retains its soul and karmic traditions. If you have any interest in surf culture beyond potato chips and competition results, click on over and read Mani’s piece.

Art Direction for DriftJanuary 18, 2010

There’s a huge new feature up on Drift, Chris Preston interviews Ryan Lovelace. Morgan Maassen hook’d all the photos and I laced the Art Direction and photo editing.

Ryan Lovelace of Point Concept Surfboards adds a chapter to the Santa Barbara shaping tradition.

Words: Chris Preston
Photos: Morgan Maassen
Art Direction: Ed Fladung

Ryan Lovelace makes beautiful boards, he’s been specializing lately in hull making. His hulls have been making a lot of waves, lately. Chris Preston did an amazing job on the interview, it’s in-depth, entertaining and really gets in to what Ryan is doing, and how different that is. Morgan Maassen’s photos speak for themselves (kid has skillzzzz). And well, me? I just tried to make everyone look their best, like a nice jacket and tie. The pull-quote color blobs are a derivative of Ryan’s shaper mark, that appears on all his boards.
