The mark making and layering are insane. I was fortunate to have him as a teacher, and he was really helpful, challenging, and shared some good stories of the surfing days! Can't wait to see these massive pieces up close. Thanks for posting this up, it’s really cool to hear him explain his execution, and inspiration for these peices.

Sorry to hear about this dude's friend. Sadly tragedy always seems to lead to great works of art. I must say, I really like these too. I just sent this link to my two uncles. One still lives in Southern California and surfs daily. The other lives in Florida. I'm stuck in nyc and I miss the ocean. I love how his paintings are caked on and never leave the frame. "Maritime" is such a good freaking name too. John Millei, you bud, have a new fan. I am always intrigued by an artist’s rendering of a wave. Sorry to hear about this dude’s friend.
