Gene Brown was an incredible artist who remains one of my All-Time Favorite Surf Cartoon Artists. A friend in Junior High School introduced me to his artwork by giving me a copy of "Hodads Beware." Almost forty years later, I decided to scan the black-and-white copy and colorize each page.

Gene contacted me after I posted a few of his drawings online. Gene asked me to colorize another book of his,but he died before sending me his work.

Gene Brown - September 4, 1940 - March 12, 2011 - Age 70 - Rest In Peace.
