SHANE EGAN
Introduction to airbrush arts
Shane and younger brother Dale cruised the strip between Palm Beach and Collaroy in a psychedelic painted Austin A40. In the latter part of the Sixties Shane began designing Surfrider Club logos and surfboard decals. By the end of the 70’s he had designed or hand colour separated virtually all of the NSW and Qld board decals and several for NZ. Shane’s clientele included Joe Larkin, Keith Paull, Peter Drouyn, Col Smith, Barry Bennett, Ron Wade, Chris Crozier, Peter Crawford, Michael Peterson, Richard Harvey, Wayne Bartholomew, Brian Austin, Alan Byrne, Bob McTavish, Geoff Darby, Bob Davies, Mark Richards, Neal Purchase, Gill Glover, Paul Shanks and Kingsley “KKK” Kernovske.
