@leroysurfboardart

Leroy is a Surfboard artist based on the Gold Coast in Burleigh. He restores pre-loved surfboards into exciting pieces of art. Thousands of old surfboards are being thrown out. Discarded after being surfed to death. They will last for thousands of years in landfills. His style of craftsmanship brings a board back to life becoming valuable in a different way.
Leroy is sculptor artist that exclusively uses old used surfboards. He crafts his art from surfboards that has been baptised by the ocean’s waves.
He is inspired to showcase the inner beauty within the surfboards to give it a whole new lease of life by creating a ocean themed art piece that will be displayed with pride instead of it being thrown into landfill.
It brings greater connection with to ocean’s grandness, reminding us, the life source and fun that oceans gives us.

#3 ROBBI NEWMAN - 'WHALETAIL sculpture' - WIP

@robbinewman.light.vision

Robbi has a long history with art. In one of his many gap years he studied art at Hobart Tech Collage and created many iron works from recycled farm machinery. These were placed in forests and mountain tops. Perhaps still there.
Then in further travels he worked with soapstone harvested from outcrops on journeys to the Flinders Range and also Atherton Tablelands. Sculpture was a passion in wood also, with works in cedar, camphor and other fine grain timbers. Totems were carved into house verandah timbers as well.
This artistic passion has had a strong interpretation in his long photographic career around the globe and also in print media with the creation of the NB Journal amongst other design works for client ads and websites.
Ten years ago, his environmental passions came full circle.  From early Tracks magazine ecological articles and study of natural resources helped him become a co founder of Living Ocean. A citizen science not for profit movement focused on the health and magic of the oceans.
