Drew Brophy | HAVE NO FEAR Surfboard Painting Collab with Gerry Lopez, Phil Roberts, Brad Basham, Drew Brophy @drewbrophy | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
This painting on a Lopez Pipeline Surfboard is called HAVE NO FEAR. The inspiration behind my portion of the art came from my Near Death Experience (see video describing that here: youtu.be/-3L9JLHEG34 ).
When I think of all the energy and expertise that has gone into this surfboard I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Gerry, Brad, and Phil have all had huge impacts on my life.
To have this project interrupted by my journey to the other side must have been my destiny. The insight passed on to me through the experience is difficult to articulate.
I instantly felt part of everything and everyone. We all are pure energy and creative potential, never dying.
We are all connected to some kind of universal mind exploring every potential for the experience itself. There is no good or bad, there is no one to save, each unique experience is for the whole. We seek Contrast.
Have joy when you see it in others, feel inspired when you see someone achieve greatness, and have compassion when you see someone going through something horrible.
Everything is the mind, so be ultra present, strive to tap into this collective mind. The clarity is liberating and the peace is blissful.
Riding Waves forces you to be ultra present, it is like riding raw energy, the heart beat of the planet.
Surfing Pipeline, famous for its giant tubes is like being One with the Universe, for a brief moment time slows down to crawl and you can see every drop of water falling over you.
The miracle of the human body and mind to navigate such immense amounts of energy so beautifully was the closest I had ever come to God. Until my near death experience...where I was shown that I am not separate from the energy, I am part of it. We all are.
You are never alone, there is no darkness, there is nothing to fear.
We are the light.
ABOUT THE SURFBOARD COLLABORATION:
Shaped by Gerry Lopez, known as Mr. Pipeline, is an absolute legend in the surfing world for both shaping and surfing (he's also an accomplished actor and author). There is a long waiting list for a surfboard shaped by Gerry Lopez.
Portrait of Drew surfing in the center is painted by Phil Roberts, the "Da Vinci" of fine art in the surfing world. Phil has designed and painted the Pipeline Masters Surfboard Trophies for decades. His work is collected by the who's who of surfing, including Kelly Slater.
Color Laminated by Brad Basham, a master craftsman and the founder of Basham's Surf Shop. He remains an iconic figure in the San Clemente Surf Community. He died suddenly and tragically in March 2022, leaving us with a big loss in the surf world.
This work of art is a collaboration between Phil Roberts and Drew Brophy on a Pipeline Gun shaped board by Gerry Lopez, color laminated by Brad Basham.
The center of the painting is a Phil Robert's portrait of Drew Brophy surfing Pipeline (taken from a photo reference of Drew surfing in the late 1990's).
The top and bottom of the deck was painted by Drew Brophy, illustrating Drew's near-death experience when in a 4 week coma, on a ventilator in late 2021 and early 2022.
