Hello Jamie! So great to have met you. And you now have a core group of likeminded pals here in Southern California who are looking forward to your next visit as well! Keep an eye out for Brigitte's 3 missing elephants in the meantime. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ‘Œ

Our studio staff agree that your work should appear on album covers of Jazz musical artists, at the very least. You have a unique style that transcends time and trendy tastes...they deliver. Great work. Hope they find their way onto countless walls as well, to be enjoyed.

Your blend of your artwork and photography and keen eye for both are a treasure to behold! Uplifting, original, emotional, timeless... Truly refreshing! THANK YOU for the effort and sharing your journeys and adventures with the rest of us.

Mission accomplished! Bravo for sowing seeds of DADA.
This film is a success, in our humble opinions. You excel in this medium as well. More, more, more please. Your fearlessness & boldness are so needed at this time on our planet. Young artists take note. You are living in the age of JUSTYNN ! πŸ˜‚

Both were in barely recognizable shape, Justynn. The newspaper ad caught my eye first and was put in a pile of long-lost surf shops to investigate. And the decal was found at a garage sale up in Oxnard as the family was closing and mentioned 'they might have an old surf shop decal laying around'.

Spellbinding! Superb production value. An achievement of sight and sound for the unsightly unsound among us and beyond us!
