Welcome Surf Art by Tyler, The online gallery of artist Paul Tyler
My art is a crazy, colourful, psychedelic version of the world as I see it. The simplest moment can spark an idea, and once I start drawing, who knows where it’s going to end up.
With years of living on the road, lots of travelling and adventures, all of these experiences have influenced my work. Ideas can come from anywhere — drawing at the beach, road trips through the outback, an old car abandoned in the bush or seeing the landscape from a completely different perspective while flying my drones.
Then there’s the wild and wacky aliens and UFOs that pop up randomly throughout my artwork.
There’s no real formula to it. It’s just a mix of experiences, ideas and things I see along the way, thrown together and spewed out onto a canvas.
Welcome to my gallery. I hope you enjoy the trip.

Meet the Artist - Paul Tyler
Creativity has been a part of my life for decades, going back to the late ’90s and throughout the 2000s when I was Co Producing the independent FMX series Dial Triple Zero, which also lead to publishing Fully Tapped Magazine, there has always been some kind of creative outlet in my life.
I drew heaps as a kid and I’ve always played around with paint, but my artwork as it is today didn’t really start until around 2012. At the time, I owned a skate shop in Torquay called Ride Stylz, and I found myself doodling a lot during the day. There was no real plan behind it — I was just drawing for fun. That’s where I started to find and develop my own style, and from around that time, art gradually became my main creative outlet.
I love drawing and I love travelling, and the two seem to feed off each other. Travelling gives me ideas, while the art creates conversations and interactions with people I'd probably never meet otherwise.
I've been incredibly fortunate to have sold around 60 original artworks, now hanging on walls throughout Australia and in three different countries overseas.
The support I've received for my art, along with the journey it's taken me on, eventually led to the creation of Shoreline Junkies.
I genuinely have no idea where this life journey will take me next, but I think that's the best part about living freely.
