Hanna using her fitness in the waves in Cali.

We're pulling out some past photo contest entrys to celebrate our members fitness! And yup, Hanna still wins the $25 cold hard cash. Congrats Hanna on an amazing way to celebrate your 40th.

I turned 40 last week and celebrated with a 06:30am WOD, "Christine"! Another part of the celebration was inviting some of my girlfriends to California to go surfing. Surfing is one of the biggest reasons I started doing CrossFit.  I need the upper body and core strength to progress, while safely paddle into the head high swells I want to ride. Since some of my girlfriends had never surfed before we stayed on the inside where it's shallow and the waves are smaller and less challenging for beginners. To make things interesting for me, I chose to ride a "performance" longboard, which is a shorter, narrower and much more maneuverable board than I've ever ridden in the past. The photo shows a somewhat graceful, dismount as I tried to learn how to ride that board. My rashguard is up around my shoulders because just before I caught this wave, I completely messed up my takeoff and ended up going over the falls. That is the surfing equivalent of a skiing yard sale and included the hoots of laughter from the rest of my crew!  No sweet sunset barrel photos on this trip, but it's all good. We all had a great time, I felt much stronger in the water and two more of my girlfriends are now surfers - best birthday ever - Hanna

Today I'm taking my first steps into technicolour!! Exciting stuff. I always planned to introduce more colour into my work at some point. I just never got around to it. And when I was working recently on my Kirk drawing, it dawned on me that another Star Trek piece would be a great first subject. The wonderfully coloured shirts. The 60's boldness. Great material for experimenting. So here's my first attempt at something else. Coloured pencils and ballpoint pen in my Moleskine. Basically I drew it in ballpoint first. Then built up the colours. Then worked the shading in ballpoint on top.
