What an experience to have the chance to be a part of one of the most amazing teams ever. Too many names to name, you know who you are. Most of my work is a solitary pursuit and it has been a treat to work and spend time with you all...I'm not a muralist🤣 #banditocr #bsylvester #bsylvesterart #envisionfestival #costarica

Super shakas and heart hands to everyone on this last day of 2025! Thanks to all the friends old and new that came out to riolindo to see my show and to support local art. And a big high five to Marco @imaginacionymedia for capturing the moment. All the love, all the power for 2026. #bandito #banditocr #bsylvester #bsylvesterart #sylvesterart #originalpaintings #localart #fineart #handmadeframes #driftwood #surfart #discoverdominical #dominical #costarica #riolindo #madebyahuman #fai #puravida

Been in full frame mode after a lengthy break. Feels great to get the tools out, set up shop and make some dust! Everything worked and I still got the skills, might have even ramped ‘em up a bit after laying dormant a while. That usually happens I find whether its surfing, painting or shaping. I worry I may have regressed while on break but always crank back up on another level somehow. I think the practice continues mentally!!! All the wood for these frames were scavenged by the Bandito from the beach or donated from friends and I consider them recycling at its finest...Come see them with live eyes @riolindo.dominical Sunday the 14th. #bandito #banditocr #bsylvester #bsylvesterart #sylvesterart #originalpaintings #localart #fineart #handmadeframes #driftwood #surfart #sundayfunday #discoverdominical #dominical #riolindo #madebyahuman #fai #puravida

New design for Triple Tail out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Had to recreate and match the airbrushed transom art as part of the job. Such a beautiful rig by Winter Sport Fishing Boats.

Sunday Funday at Rio Lindo this Dec. 14th!!! Mark your calendar, save the date and come out and see some epic gypsy music and the reason why I haven’t been seen out in the surf as much lately! I’ve been digging in, giving it my all and am extremely proud of this current batch of work and super excited to share it with you on a glorious Sunday afternoon by the river. This will be a one day show and I will be there with bells on from noon till close and look forward to seeing those that can make it out, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! #bandito #banditocr #bsylvester #bsylvesterart #sylvesterart #originalpaintings #localart #fineart #handmadeframes #driftwood #surfart #gypsymusic #sundayfunday #discoverdominical #dominical #riolindo #madebyahuman #fai #puravida

This board was one of those that I really wanted to keep for myself. But I know it’s in great hands with @spencerdthomas88 and getting tested out @ranchosantana_nicaragua on this fine Thanksgiving! #banditocr #bsylvesterart #bandito #madebyahuman #puravida #bsylvester #sylvesterart #happythanksgivng #gosurf

Had to put down the brushes for a bit and bust out a few design jobs. Fresh new Yellowfin Tuna for the Dwyer’s annual Otherside Invitational Tournament! Been lucky to be doing their yearly design since 2010 I believe, best return clients ever!!!
