Surf Dogs Lineup II
After I created my first “Surf Dogs Line Up”, I thought to myself- “Hmmm, I actually haven’t drawn a lot of dogs before”. The first piece was ok, not my best drawing but good enough. Then I thought “What would bring a real impact to these pups”. Draw a hundred of them. Then combine them […]
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a Colored
Fish I see snorkeling #2 colored. I’m not sure what I’m going to do this. Digital print? Screen print? I’ve set it up for a silk screen but I’m not sure. I really liked using the dot screens, they brought a cool graphic element to the piece.
Nene Beach Holiday!
A fun day at the beach with the native Hawaiian Geese- the NENE. Yep, they look like Canadian geese and rightfully so, they descended from Canadian geese that came to island chain about five hundred thousand years and decided to stick around. There smaller than the standard Canadian goose and some are flightless. It was […]
Surf Maneki Neko!
Are you feeling lucky? This cat is! I’m pretty sure that I’m going to screenprint this but I’m also considering making stickers or t-shirts. I’ve considered putting in more Japanese type but I think this is good enough for now.
Humuhumunukunukuapua a
Pen and ink work for my next “Fish I see while Snorkeling” print series. This the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. Say that three times fast or even once for that matter. It’s the State fish of Hawaii and is known as the Reef Triggerfish in English. These guys can be really colorful, but I think I’m going to […]
Surf Chipmunks Line art.
Here are the inks for the latest print in the surf series I’m working on. I’ll be working up the screen print separations tomorrow. I’m think this may be a three color print. I might put some text along with it. There are no chipmunks on the islands as far as I know but drawing […]
Surf’s Up Jungle Fowl
Just finished doing the screen print mock up for the cool chicken, I’m planning on making this a two color print with a transparent red layer. I’ve really been enjoying creating this series of surf animals. I hope you all enjoy them too!
Puppies in the Line Up
Surf Puppy Line Up. I’ve been working on a series of surf related pieces for a show in October here in Hilo. I also want to build up a portfolio for local galleries. It’s been fun and challenging. I’m trying to create cool surf art without rehashing worn out tropes or to use those […]
Robo Wiener Diazo Printing Quest
Let’s start this story with several people laughing at me over the phone. I wanted to get my technical wiener dog illustration printed- not only printed- an old-school blue-print. I called several places in New York, that specifically had “Blueprint” in their names and none. NONE! make blue line prints. They all just make big […]
