The wave opens up. Opportuninties present themselves, and priorities change. This guy has to get moving – he’s running late, and running out of time at that old pOp pier.
DESCRIPTION
A figure reminiscent of the Moebius Silver Surfer bursts through structure into defined, precise motion – disrupting the boundary between containment and freedom, though he was never trapped.
The wave he rides is energy, not water, and its no passive thing. This wave passes through space and time, a shift suddenly releasing versus containing. The surfer a focal point for a siple, passing moment – a force exploding from a specific, constrained environment into something expansive, unknown, and certain. It’s a birth, and he knows exactly where he’s going.
BETTER LATE than NEVER – BUSTIN’ OUT portrays no hesitation. Only pure, instinctive movement. What was hungered for prior has been sated – a new hunger steps up. Something juicier than saltwater. Something hot, something dripping with melted cheese, something in a bun. A double chili, double cheese, double grand-mal seizure burger, with fries. A burger from Tommy’s #5 down by Ocean and Pico in the heart of Dogtown.
The figure carries the visual DNA of comic book mythology. Long limbs. Impossible airborne balance. A body built for motion rather than gravity. This piece nods respectfully toward the legendary visual worlds of both Jack Kirby, the originator of the Silver Surfer and particularly Jean “Moebius” Giraud, whose work with the later Silver Surfer shaped how movement and scale could live on a page.
This work sits within the Elemental Myth current of the BwahT posterprint series, where unseen waters represents both confinement and escape. The action is immediate, instinctive, unexamined – and it’s going somewhere.
BETTER LATE than NEVER – BUSTIN’ OUT was originally drawn on linen paper with markers and Prismacolor pencils.
