Rosie Lee

I'm not sure where the term Rosie Lee in the cockney rhyme and slang actually came from, but on a recent photography job for my friends Heather and Nigel at 'Dishotea' I came across this wonderful rose tea. Their new shop can be found in Chapel Street, Penzance where they sell a wide range of teas and coffees. Each time I opened a jar to shoot the beans or leaves the different aromas were breathtaking.

Robbie Toons

Robbie McIntosh creates the classic surf cartoons. He regularly contributes to our Local rag the Cornishman in the Tales from the Tube page and in the spirit of including other artists here is a taste of Robbies work and hopefully lots more to come. check the link to see more of his work.

"Watch out Slater, I'm coming for you"

This is Jago on Saturday, 18 months old and his first venture into the waves with his old dad. My proudest momnet yet. Let the grom training begin. Check the little cross step in the bottom shot. Thanks so much to Charlie Jay for taking the snaps. www.charliejay.co.uk.

Surf Art by Steve PP

If anyone ever gets up to, over to pr down to Woolocoombe in North Devon, they can't miss the Red Barn Pub, full of classic boards lining the roof. Just behind the Red Barn you can't miss the old wagon which is known as the Waikiki Tavern and beach side studio of local artist Steve PP. Steve's paintings are created using driftwood, canvas and other materials. He represents the classic beach lifestyle artist in a small coastal town and when he's not creating, he's surfing. Check Steve's website www.ppsurfart.com
I do believe he recently got married so congratulations Steve.

Leashes

Just found this classic sticker on a great blog called 'The Swallow Tail Society'. If you go to my links you'll find it. I'll say no more or i'll get in trouble...again.

Any one out their who feels my blog would be a worthy place to display such works then please forward work to my email. Happy Blogging. To begin the proceedings here's something my lovely wife did earlier in the story of Brightbox. email: russ96uk@yahoo.com

Gulf Stream

Just to let you now that th enew and improving Gulf Stream website is up and running. This is my lovely wife Jill grabbing a rail on her 9'2 Gulf Stream Log. Anyone wants a new board go and see them in Devon, their quads, twinnies and logs are some of the finest hand crafted vehicles in the UK.
