This image, the heir apparent to Cassidy's world wide phenomenon, "Teach Me to Surf, Sugar Daddy," was a result of begging him for another image like that one. This composition—featuring his wife Leah as model — was printed on canvas in 1999 and sold out in about six months. We have one left from the edition that we have been holding onto since then. Very, very collectible.
As Seventh Heaven Publishers, we published the work of Michael Cassidy for over a decade.
Cassidy was world famous for his figurative work featuring lovely Hawaiian wahines as well as his compositions that were mindful of early 20th Century travel posters. He retired from doing prints in 2004. Heir apparent to the signature composiiton of Cassidy’s entitled “Teach Me to Surf, Sugar Daddy,” this piece features the same elements of that poster, suing an Esther Williams-like model and the signature long board.
