About

THOMAS CAMPBELL

Bonny Doon, California-based artist Thomas Campbell is a key figure in West Coast board culture. Along with Barry Magee and Chris Johansson, he was involved in the Mission School movement. They were featured prominently in the film "Beautiful Losers," which tells the story of how they came to be in the limelight and became a movement, while their surf movie trilogy "SEEDLING," "SPROUT," and "THE PRESENT" have been well received by non-surfers for their outstanding visual beauty, original ideas, and background music, and have earned him high acclaim as a filmmaker as well as for his artwork with its unique world view.
