The Riverside Profile format returns for a special 4th of July excursion with a Riversider who had a big role in exporting the look and attitude of 1980s surf culture to the rest of the world. Steve Nazar sits down with Ralph and Patrick to connect the dots from selling design services to Arlington businesses to creating the iconic Town and Country Surf characters featured on the t-shirts in so many of our '80s wardrobes. Steve also talks about his recent show in Hawaii and his contribution to a members' exhibit at Riverside Art Museum (you can see it this Thursday at Artswalk). It's no mistake that "Da' Boys" are poised to return in a big way to greet the demand that still builds after 30+ years. Young artists' influence lists include Steve in the same column as his own heroes. Not too bad for a kid from Grant Elementary School who just wanted to draw!
