I painted this one with my grandma. She was stoked....

On my second trip to Kingston Jamaica, I painted this wall mural at Chinna's house. I was surrounded so much inspiring creative musical talent during my two week stay, that I had to bust out with some of my own.... Jamaica is a beautiful place. Give Thanks

New Years Eve 2010 Painting...

While surrounded by live reggae music, friends, good food and a positive environment; It was easy to be inspired to paint. This painting is now part of Rob's Healing Center. A place where creative and artistic expression is encouraged on the daily... This is also where the band " Reggae Motion" records and practices...

drawing is fun...

I thought I might try something different. Time lapse drawing without lifting the marker...

resin art surfboard...

This was he first board that I painted without using paint. I have used this technique for wall art before, but this was the first board. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. The proud owner is Eddie Picollo from Wialua Hawaii, Oahu... The shaping, glassing, and artwork was all done my me... Thanks for watching... J. Samarin...

This is me in Hawaii, holding the art piece that was Donated to the " LIFE ROLLS ON - FOUNDATION ". For there 2008 "Night By The Ocean" red carpet charity event... I was told it was a well talked about piece, viewed by many. I'm not sure the name of the person who had the winning bid, but I believe he was an actor on the TV show "Bay Watch".

Surfing in town at 3's

It was a small day on the town side of oahu. One of the surf guides was taking pics, and must have thought I was part of the group... A few days later he chased me down on the beach, and hooked me up with some of the photos... Mahalo for the pixx.

" Channel 8 News San Diego "

I was asked if I would come for a interview. I said, "For sure, anything to help out the cause". I was asked questions about my art, and thoughts about ocean conservation. This was my first TV interview, and I would like to say "Its not a easy as it looks". I kinda choked up, but I managed to get my point across. Would like to thank Surfrider Foundation for the invite and the CBS 8 News San Diego for there support towards ocean conservation.

" STAY CLASSY SAN DIEGO "...

"Surfrider San Diego May 8th Art Gala"

"LOOKER'S RIGHTS"...

I donated this 24" x 48" original art piece to the Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter, for there May 8th Art Gala, which took place at the Powerhouse in Del Mar. I felt the need to get involved with helping out the ocean. I was always a supporter of Surfrider, and appreciate all the work that the Foundation does to help conserve our oceans and beach's. I am honored to help out a worthy cause, and am pleased to know that my art piece raised a nice chunk of change towards keeping our beloved oceans and beaches clean.
