But not right now.
If you've ever been to South Australia, more specifically the Eyre Peninsular, you'll know that there is absolutely jack shit to do. So when there was no surf, or the polar opposite, the surf was too big- I drew, sketched, painted...whatever. I've enevr considered myself an artist, particular not a Fine Art artist- but I did produce a few pieces that I'm rather fond of.

My cyclops owl...inspired by the art of Walter Moers
I used black Indian Ink and a quill (his eye is edited, because the original was smudged from water)
And then an oil pastel landscape of Smooth Pools...but I left it in dad's van.
But also, for my friend's 18th birthday I did a watercolour of Lady Gaga for her. This was another rarity, where I produced something that i didn't feel the urge to instantaneously incinerate or tear into millions of little pieces...

P.S. The surf was amazing, and faaarking huge!
It may well have been worth the 3 day drive back...but only maybe
