Andy Davis - Making a Living with Enthusiastic, Amazing Art, Inspired by Surf Culture

Andy Davis - Making a Living with Enthusiastic, Amazing Art, Inspired by Surf Culture

Andy’s Wild Idea: To pave his own path and make a career spreading aloha vibes through art.

Andy Davis is quite possibly my favorite artist ever, and for good reason. He has been called one of the best surf artists of our generation. Using bright colors, and organic, curvy shapes, his work gives you the feeling of being near the water, and exudes a pure, simple joy and aloha spirit. His work has appeared in films by Thomas Campbell, brands like Billabong, Roxy, and his own brand Free, on huge murals, in big stores, and now on the panels of Igloo coolers.

We talk about how he forged his own way, passing on traditional education for real work experience, surrounding himself with friends, and continuing to create what he wanted along the way. He has a great sense of humor and a bold outlook on life. Andy’s perspective on following your creative and wild ideas is a breath of fresh air, and one that will most likely inspire you to keep going after what you want.

Listen to this episode if:

  • You are an artist or a creative person.
  • You love the aloha vibe.
  • You watched cartoons as a kid.
  • You are into surf culture.
