I was working in design in the surfing fashion industry for Billabong USA which is now Hurley. Botticelli's painting "Birth of Venus" my favorite painting. 1998, I was in Italy the 1st time. I drove to Florence to see the original. About 6 months after I returned, Bob Hurley told me that He'd flown to Australia over the week end, disolved the license with Billabong and we are starting a new company... Now called Hurley. This is a collage I did during the transition called "Birth of the Future" "Birth of the Future" 1998 Mike Browne 01/06/2016

Setting my goals this morning for 2016 and realized I'm gonna need to carry a 10 foot ladder when I summit Mt. Everest.
