All works on Surf-Art.co.uk are by UK artist and craftsperson James Gardner.

James is a self-taught artist who splits his time between the Midlands and West Wales. Having spent half his life surfing and sketching comic book art for his own pleasure on the mid Wales coastline he found himself land-locked near Birmingham.

Finding life without surf and sea increasingly frustrating he picked up a paintbrush at the age of 23 and tried to remind himself of what it feels like to be by the sea by painting a Surf scene for his Girlfriend's birthday because the price tags of any in shops had far too many digits on.

3 years on James has continued painting and is now producing exciting works transposing the qualities of comics and pop art to the world of the ocean, from surfers to harbours his paintings have been sold across the UK and exhibited twice.

A recent entrant to the Royal Academy of Art's 'Summer Exhibition' and with work in several UK galleries and Shops, James' bold and unusual take on the Ocean takes Surf Art to a new and fresh level, evoking in everyone the feeling of the sea, whether it be the post surf glow or the sun setting behind the harbour wall.

Now working out of his Midland and Welsh studios James set up www.surf-art.co.uk a year ago to showcase his works and more importantly offer all walks of life the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from his original and exciting works of art.

He can either be reached through his website or found surfing and collecting driftwood on the nations beaches, with his Choclate Labrador in tow.
