Direct to Film on Wood Art Panels
The experiment continues! …and for the most part successfully. There isn’t a lot of media/instruction out there for printing Direct to Film transfers onto wood- other than it can be done. Now that I’ve done a lot of them, I’ve learned a few things- 1. Always heat press the wood first. Even if the wood […]
Honu Print Updated
I was a bit lost on the how and what I was going to do with my “Honu” Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle print. At first, it was this giant turtle that just sort of floated in space. After several reworks, I’m relatively happy with idea of printing this using Direct To Film on a wood […]
Ahi Drawing/Painting Print
My latest print is of an Ahi/Yellowfin Tuna. These are pretty awesome creatures that also happen to taste AMAZING. This will be printed on a 12″x18″ Birch Art Panel using the Direct to Film print method. I’m going to be adding some silver leaf on each print.
Native Hawaiian Vector Fish
Traditionally I haven’t drawn in a vector format, but since I’ve been experimenting with the Direct to Film print process I can achieve something I’ve always strived for but have found very difficult to replicate in traditional painting- absolutely flat prints with no brush strokes. I intend to print these fish on everything from wood, […]

Kikakapu Print
Another Print mock-ip from my “Fish I see while snorkeling” series. This is a companion piece for my Humuhumunukunuku-apua-a. print I did earlier. If you match this on it’s right side with that piece the patterns match up. These guys are a pretty common sight while snorkeling here in Hawaii.”Kikakapu” is it’s Hawaiian name. It’s […]
OTTER SPACE!
A new design for a t-shirt and silkscreen print. I’m also thinking I might make a tote-bag out of this fun design. You can pick up this on a T-shirts, coffee mugs, and much more HERE
Motorscootin’ Surf Chipmunks
Another colored version of the surf screenprint series I’ve been working on. This is intended to be a four color silkscreen print. I don’t do a lot of four color prints because the more colors you have you increase the likelihood of missed registration which leads me to be grumpy. That said I played with […]
