Scott Richards- FISH

Scott Richards is the man behind the Newport Beach based Slightly Choppy - one part art studio one part hand crafted brand. You may know the name from his pervasive felt flags that are all made by hand and conjure up Scott's inspirations that pull in aspects of vintage sign painting, maritime grit, and surf culture. Compared to his early days of surfing on the Great Lakes, Newport Beach probably feels as exotic as Indonesia giving Scott that positive spark that's so contagious to be around. His work exudes playful memoirs of coastal life from another era, decades before computers, in a time when everything was hand painted, hand stitched, and hands down more simplified than today.
