Best of Culver City Invite

A few weeks ago I entered a photomontage of downtown Culver City for "The Best of Culver City" photo contest.   They used my montage for the invite for the reception.  I wish I would have won but I am glad they used it and invited me to the reception with the other winners.

Surfboard Montages!

This summer I spent a lot of my time working on my surfboard montage project. My goal was to put "beachy" photomontages on broken or beat up surfboards and seal them with either plexiglass and/or resin. After a few weeks of testing and experimenting with lots of glues, resins, and various other plastics I found something that worked. I settled on using two types of resin and fiberglass. The montages are made of 40 to 70 4x6's I pieced together.

I am super stoked on these boards, and now I am trying to get the top 3 displayed at shops or galleries. If you have any suggestions please let me know.  If you are interested in a custom montage of your favorite surf spot or beach please email me at: vontetzel@gmail.com
