Ozzie Wright
Ozzie", "Oska", "Oz", Oscar Billy Pippen Wright is not your a-typical professional surfer, oh no, he is so much more then that. Artist, musician, film-maker; a winged manimal on a mission. Hailing from the Land Down Under, Sydney Australia to be exact, he has been riding for Volcom for ten years now. In that time he has also grown into an art juggernaut turning out beautifully spastic and distinctively raw pieces. Some of you may also know him simply as "Fang Fight Right the Wizard of Death" lead crooner of the wildly popular super-teen group "The Goons of Doom". With his band mates, Cut-Throat Cowboy, Vaughan Dead and Killer Whale having conquered the land behind the Orange Curtain they have since played Tokyo, Hollywood and are hoping to go to New York this year. He is also the man behind the pen behind the zine that is "Dope Comics". Ozzie is a bat-winged gypsy, a drifting son of a bat, a high flying rodent of many talents spreading his messy sort of sound and color to the world around him and we thank him for that!Ozzie Wright painting his work

Tylan Lambert
Only 18, Tylan has been painting for five years now, drawing inspiration from the ocean upon which he lives to develop a unique style that focuses upon the movement and appearance of water.Tylan never did art at school because he felt it too restricting in what you were allowed to paint, however, Tylan has been selling and exhibiting works for the past 4 years, winning various awards and was invited to exhibit in the annual Taj's Small Fries Exhibition in 2009 and 2010. Living within walking distance from iconic surf beaches, Tylan developed a love for surfing. In late 2009 he joined the Ocean Zone (Oz) surf team and through their help was able to gain a place in this amazing opportunity, The Komune Art Project, for the Quiksilver Pro.Tylan has just finished school and is taking a year off in which he would like to better promote himself as a surf artist, and hopes one day he will be able to travel the world surfing and painting.See more of Tylans work at www.tylan-lambert.blogspot.com
