Portfolio: Damien Poullenot
Damien Poullenot is a French photographer from the forested hamlet of Hossegor on the Cote d’Argent. With compatriot Laurent Masurel, Damien runs a thriving photo agency centered on surfing. Splitting the difference between art and sport, he is a subtle manipulator of nuanced light and eye-tricking composition. His work is uncanny, with an appeal that speaks to purist considerations like craft, emotional vibration, and allusion. In this, his first portfolio in the U.S. surfing press, he graces 18 pages with his broad take on sliding culture.

A Beautiful Pandemonium: How Rick Griffin Became the Unlikely Herald of the Psychedelic Revolution
Steve Barilotti provides a biography of iconic surf artist Rick Griffin. This piece follows Rick from his days as a high school student contributing the Murphy comics to Surfer Magazine, to his eventual conversion to Christianity and illustrating the book of John. The path he took was anything but ordinary. He started the mid sixties in art school in Los Angeles, but ended up right in the middle of the psychedelic experiments at the height of the hippie movement in San Francisco. While there he created groundbreaking psychedelic poster art and album covers for the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and many others. He was also a part of the influential Zap Comix founded by R. Crumb. After an apocalypse scare lead him to New York in the late sixties he came back to Southern California and worked with John Severson and Surfer Magazine again, creating the tremendous artwork for Severson’s film Pacific Vibrations.
