Abstract

Ey Up Dude is part of the ‘secret
language of surfers’ project.
Celebrating colloquialism, localism,
identity and impact of American
surf culture in and around Yorkshire
& Lincolnshire.
Hailing from the East Coast, or as I
like to call it, ‘The Right Coast’ I’m
a pro-active practitioner of graphic
stoke and unexpected instalments
of visual delight.
This printed publication is a visual
interpretation of my ethnographic
research. Focusing on the social
conditioning and cultural predisposition
of surfing’s ‘tribal community’,
I spend my time hunting the many
secret spots on the East Coast
discovering out how to connect
the visiting car park culture into
a community.
Out of the educational world,
I work under the title of
ArmchairHero. My work evolves,
encompasses and now manifests
within print and screen, static and
film based projects.
Surf culture as we know it.
