About the Book

"No matter what you create, someone is going to love it and someone is going to hate it. Focus on the people who love it." Drew Brophy This is the story of a self-taught artist who inspired change in the action sports industry. From painting surfboards to skateboards to designing tee shirts and boogie boards; Drew Brophy took his art from rejection to success. Brophy began his journey as a young artist who struggled to fit in. He had a vision for painting in a unique way, but the rest of the world wasn't ready for it. He never gave up and in time, his techniques became accepted and eventually, emulated worldwide. In this book, Brophy shares a painful, yet inspiring account of how he progressed from being a totally lost young man to creating an adventurous life of surf and travel with his art. Look Inside for: Brophy's full color paintings, sketches and designs that inspired surf culture; Hundreds of Brophy's surfboard paintings from the 1980's to present; The brutally honest story of Brophy's journey from starving to a fulfilling art career; The mindset that it took to overcome the naysayers and ultimately led to success. A failed art gallery, clients refusing to pay and endless rejections, that nearly put an end to Brophy's career. But then he asked himself one question, and the answer is what eventually led him on a path to create the life he really wanted. Read on for Brophy's personal story and artist retrospective, showing the progression of art and mindset over the course of thirty years. This book is inspiring for any artist who sometimes wonders "is my art good enough?"
