From Brazil | Serie Waves

sunset1Check out Tom Veiga’s latest work – Serie Waves, a collection of art “inspired by sensations and feelings I get from the sea, wind, the sun’s heat and the movement of the waves, as well as places I knew and other places that I still want to know”.

A Brazilian art director and passionate surfer, Tom’s recent work really reminds me of a mash-up of those iconic London Underground posters commissioned by Frank Pick and modernist travel posters from the 1920s and 30s. However you reference it, they’re refreshingly bold take on surf art. Take a look at the full series on Tom’s website.
