"My Name is Andy. Andy Davis." If this quirky, bird/fish-on-a-stick logo, or whatever you want to call it, could speak, that is what it would say.

This trademark symbol of Andy Davis, a California artist known for his simple-line art depicting beach and surf scenes can be found in any self-respecting surf or beach shop.
A simple google search for "Ando and Friends" will reveal several places to purchase his look.
Vans carry a line of "Ando and Friends" on flip flops and other shoes, Thalia Surf shop, along with several other shops feature several tees and board-short options.

Andy Davis' blog called "My Name Is Andy" is clean, and fun to look at:

I enjoy Andy Davis' art because it is so clean and understated.
He says what he wants to say without over-using any lines.

In addition to his clothing line Andy Davis fans can find art on his website or even commission an original piece.




As a child Andy, after playing in the California sun, would draw his day using crayons. During school it was his escape, picturing being free, what he would do if he weren't in class.

I don't think his statement and vision for his art has changed at all.
