The Verizon FiOS SoCal campaign and professional surf lifestyle artist, Drew Brophy are teaming up to influence SoCal residents to conquer their creativity.
Drew will use graffiti-style spray paint and airbrush to customize the vintage Verizon FiOS SoCal 1965 Volkswagen bus, LIVE, in Huntington Beach during the US Open of Surf Friday, July 26th and Saturday, July 27th from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. daily.
Visitors can watch as Drew transforms the VW bus, and even win a Lost surfboard, custom painted by Drew Brophy.
Brophy will be executing his live artistry on the Strand, between 5th and Pacific Coast Highway.
This live art installation is part of the Verizon FiOS SoCal campaign’s “Conquer Creativity” initiative, which offers locals a unique opportunity to design and win SoCal staples.
Participants can virtually design graphics for a beach bike, skate or surfboard, and enter those designs in the sweepstakes. With a unique, computer-based design template, users can integrate colors, personal photos and text into their designs.
Each week, one sweepstakes entry will be randomly selected, and the winner will receive the item he or she entered – a surfboard, skateboard or beach cruiser – with graphics inspired by their design. The winning sweepstakes items will be custom-made by local craftsmen.
For more than 25 years, Drew Brophy's bright, colorful art has appeared in hundreds of books, magazines and newspapers and on numerous products, including Converse Shoes, Nirve Cruiser Bikes and Liquid Force Wakeboards.
Having the freedom to experiment with many different surfaces and products allowed Brophy to grow tremendously as an artist. Brophy’s artistic inspiration comes from surfing and traveling the globe with his wife and son.
