  We were flattered when contacted by Penguin Group, the largest trade book publisher in the world.  Best-selling author Thomas Pynchon had found our print on the web while searching for a cover image for his latest novel, "Inherent Vice".  It was a natural as the story is set in a California surfing community in the 1960's.  To date we have contracted with publishers printing the novel in eight additional languages, from Norwegian to Hungarian. Pynchon's novel debuted at Number 6 on the New York Times best-seller list.  We sincerely appreciate the response this "Eternal Summer" print has enjoyed from Pynchon fans worldwide. 

  Since the advent of the automobile age a century ago, the beach cruiser has become a nostalgic presence found along ocean shorelines worldwide. Usually old, and always rusted, the beach cruiser is an integral part of the beach and surfing culture.  To those who cast only a cursory glance, the cruiser is often seen as no more than an unwelcome eyesore.  But to those who look beyond its rusty and faded skin, the cruiser is truly the embodiment of a unique lifestyle marked by sun, sand, salt and surf. Leisurely passing time with fellow cruisers while their owner searches out that perfect wave is truly Paradise – the Paradise of a beach cruiser.

  All Cruiser Art prints are professionally printed on an industrial heavy duty laser print in order to achieve the most precise color reproduction possible. The colors are breathtaking and compare with the level of quality usually found in prints costing considerably more. The small size (mounted in an 11x14 mat) is printed on premium quality 60lb paper. The Large Edition (mounted in a 16x20 mat) is reproduced on a special Linen Weave textured paper. This exceptional paper gives the print a canvas-like appearance.  There is no way to show the textured effect on the computer monitor, however it creates a truly stunning presentation.
