"The concept is rescue, how we rescue our animals, but (of course) in the long run they rescue us."
-Geoff McFetridge
"I lived for a few years in Topanga Canyon, and have very close friends scattered all over Los Angeles. I’m very proud of the surfing community that came together to try and keep people safe and combat the flames. Angelenos don’t give up they grow back."

"Hi - Thomas Campbell here, my heart goes out to all those affected by the fires in L.A. , if i can help even a little bit to ease these peoples pains and sorrow. I made a smaller quilted piece of art for the towel project with Slowtide and as I was doing it, it seemed to reveal to me that the quilting was like the fabric of community and hopefully how we join together and try to support each other. Big love to everyone always,,,, bestest - T. Campbell - Bonny Doon, Calif. 2025"

"The devastation caused by the fires in my city has deeply affected me. I was compelled to contribute and the best way I know how is through my art. This artwork symbolizes both the destruction and resilience of our community. The imagery transitions from vibrant colors to shades of ashy grey, reflecting the impact of the fires. The colorful backside of the towel serves as a reminder of the strength and unity we share in rebuilding together and rising from the ashes."
-Jen Stark
"We love Los Angeles and our hearts break to see so many people who make up this incredible city be affected by the devastation from the wildfires here. We wanted to create something joyful in a time of sadness that will uplift and help generate some much needed funds for the LAFD."
-Dabs Myla
"I really think that Los Angeles lives inside of so many people, whether they love it or hate it, whether they've been there or not. It's there, in the canon of our culture. It is a birthplace, landing pad, or safe haven for so much of this country's best food, art, and music. My heart goes out to all of the Angelenos impacted by the recent fires."
-Anna Fusco
“In the midst of these fires, countless people are experiencing devastating losses—I lost my own home and studio, and the generosity from others has been overwhelming. I’m honored to lend my image to Slowtide to create this towel, so I can give back in any way possible.”
-Cleon Peterson
"I wanted to come up with a design that I felt was as fun and complex as our hometown really is. Los Angeles is an endless maze of colors, contrasts and contradictions and the people who really love living here embrace its shortcomings and thrive on its strengths."
