PHIL ROBERTS: For over 30 years, Phil Roberts has been a successful artist, illustrator, sculptor and
designer in the surf industry, best known for his scientific illustrations in Drew Kampion’s “Book of Waves”.
These paintings are currently on show at a museum in North England as well as featured in Geo Magazine,

JOHN WARREN: John Warren, known for his famous Rock-fish sculptures, is an independent artist in the
field of sculpture and home decor. His primary sculptural method utilizes various types of fabricated steel,
which can be created for indoor or outdoor display. John has fulfilled commissioned pieces for clients
throughout Southern California and Baja California, Mexico. John Warren has remained an ongoing exhibitor
within the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts. www.rocknfish.com
PERRY FAANES: Perry Faanes grew up in Laguna Beach, enjoying the beach lifestyle, later becoming a
competitive surfer. Perry has traveled the world while surfing - living the life of a surfer led him to working in
the surf industry repairing surfboards, where he began creating wave sculptures from left-over resin. Over time,
the waves became art, and the surfer has become the sculptor. No one else has ever created such art, which
makes it possible for anyone to be "in the barrel" or to "get tubed", by just looking through the viewer in Perry's
unique Glass Barrel sculptures. www.glassbarrels.com
KYLE GOODWIN: Kyle Hunter Goodwin of Hunter Glass is a self-taught artist who creates unique glass
etchings on a variety of mediums. Born with a love and talent for drawing, Kyle enjoys creating original
designs for private homeowners as well as businesses. A native of Florida, traveler and surfer, Kyle is inspired
by the natural environment to create environmental and fantasy designs. His designs originate as pencil or ink
drawings, made into stencils, which are then used to create the glass carvings. Each and every one of Kyle’s
designs are unique and one-of-a-kind. www.hunterglass.com
KEN RUZIC: Ken’s artwork often straddles the fence between high art and kitsch, drama and slapstick. His
art flirts between the sacred and the profane, translating the predicaments of all of us. For over 15 years and 60
exhibitions, Ken has been blessed by a dedicated following of fans, patrons, & onlookers who understand his
progression of art and personal theory. Along with hundreds of paintings and drawings, Ken has produced
murals, fabric prints, t-shirt graphics, CD covers, and ads, as well as private commissions, with daunting, epic
themes that satisfy his love of the heroic. Armed with only his seething mind & frantic hand, Ken has examined
our history, faith, politics & culture to create art that is both satirical and speculative. www.kenruzic.com
