A Day in the Life

Jenn Griffith

Painter

Folly Beach, SC
Jenn Griffith Hero Image

About:

Jenn's artwork is easily recognized, from ocean-scapes to palm-covered surfboards.
Living and working from the beach, she draws inspiration from the ocean and its surrounding landscapes. She is best known for her murals around paulinadispatch and her original surfboard paintings- refurbishing old surfboards as fine art pieces.
On her tagline, "don't drink the water" Jenn explains, "it is two-fold: it is a serious commentary on the world's water crisis, and our need for better-quality drinking water, whether in our own taps or around the globe, as well as the conservation of our ocean ecosystems. In a more playful sense, it is also a tribute to 'don't drink the kool-aid'-- don't believe everything you hear or see. Question things, be bold and brave, forge your own path!"

Once shared a flask of tequila with Bill Murray and talked art and golf. That was fun.

About:

Justin has been writing and playing music since the age of 14 and now touring full time with his band SUSTO. Before the band was formed, Justin nearly stopped playing music all together and moved to Cuba which is where he was pushed by friends he met to continue his pursuit of creating music. If it wasn’t for that trip, SUSTO would never have become what they are today.

Fun Fact

Learned to play on his grandfather’s guitar which was forbidden for all of his siblings to touch. So he had to steal it from his dads closet whenever they were out of the house.

Logan appeared on a tv commercial for the famous Ron Jon’s Surf Shop when he was 11 years old - to this date, he has never actually seen the commercial. Probably becuase he was surfing and not watching Tv.
