The Design
The Endless Summer™ Mug by America Is Beautiful® is a fully authentic tropical beach design finds a wood longboard hand drawn by a real surfer-artist placed sideways around the entire mug on a soft beach scene as though standing on the summer beach, looking out across the sand, the sea, the waves and the surf, and off into the distance of the sky to the horizon. On warm days the ocean and waves heat and flex the air and bend the light differently in different places creating mirages and drifting thoughts. The ocean warmth, beach scene and how they shimmer and play the light are all captured in the watercolor background. The surfboard is colored with authentic red, white, and black colors longboards were actually painted in when not just varnished clear, and it’s striped authentically to show the multiple glue-ups of the long boards that actually make up a real surfing longboard. The wonderfully inspirational message “America Is Beautiful” wraps the mug, colored in various brown, tan and beige wood tones found on driftwood, beach shells, varnished longboard, and tropical palm trees. Parts of design are weathered and distressed like everything at the beach. Rare is the perfect unworn shell, and it’s our cracks and notices that give us the flavor of our lives. So it’s all good. The scene is bracketed at each end by two entirely different hand-drawn wind-swept palm trees. It's so rare there's not at least a slight breeze at the beach.
The Inspiration
Lots of time at the beach inspired this distressed, retro, weathered, mug design. Hand-drawn by our family’s artist Kem, a lifelong artist, surfer, musician and photographer, his vintage art is as authentic as it can get. Kem has spent more time than most any other living human being at the beach, playing music, and on every type of longboard and shortboard there is be it wood boards or fiberglass boards. He’s even done longboards like the one in this good vibes drawing. He introduced me to “buddha” the nickname of he who makes surfboards in the area. So kick back and soak up the relaxing warmth of one of the most comfortable, authentic, honest beach themes there is with your Endless Summer™ Mug Kem grew up in New Smyrna and I grew up in Daytona Beach. I'm blessed to know him – it is good to know those who can bring out a lot of life’s flavor. I came up with the concept for this design but Kem delivered everything that it is for you and I. And Janet named it, so I know we're going to be all right.
