No tracks in the snow
I wanted to make a splash with my first article on Drift, so I thought I would have a chat about surfing and life with one of the most interesting men on the planet. As it happened, Stephen Hawking had other plans. But the man who did eventually give up his time for Drift is Andy Martin – a professor of French at Cambridge University; author of ‘Stealing the Wave’ and ‘Walking on Water’, as well as books on Napoleon and Brigitte Bardot; writer of diverse articles for major newspapers and contributor to various BBC productions. Most importantly, however, he’s a surfer like the rest of us. [photo by John Callahan.]

Cross pollination
Our US crew have just published a gorgeous set of photos from NorCal designer/photographer/musician John Ryan. So if you fancy a change of scenery but can’t leave the office, do check it out.
Little travels
Three jewellery ranges have been designed, created and delivered – it has been an incredibly busy season, meeting up with new-found designers, artists and buyers. As an artist and jeweller it was exciting and fascinating, but as a traveller and outdoor junkie it left me a bit parched. So instead of the usual chilled weekend at home pondering life in all its many permutations, I decided to go experience and explore them instead. After two months of solid designing it was time to fill my creative cup.

Dutch lo-fi meets hi-fi
Resourceful photographer Blackwood profiles his surfing life using a combination of his Kodak Duaflex, a toner cartridge box and his digital camera.
Droog sells out
A couple of weeks back I sent a whole load of drawings from Mexico to Bristol for the Drift show. The famously unreliable Mexican postal service did its job admirably, and now these one-off original scribbles could be yours to own.
From Brazil | Serie Waves
Check 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”.
