Hawaii
Kohola II- Hawaiian Humpback Whale
Another one that started in my sketchbook. Unlike other sketches, the background is much more involved. Kohola II “Kohola at Dusk” Print on Paper 11×14.
Heʻe Hawaiian Octopus Print
“Heʻe II” 11×14 on a paper. Another piece finished from my 2024 sketchbook. Iʻm not doing everything from that sketchbook, just select images that I think will make a good print.
The Circle Sea Painting and Sketchbook Drawing
My latest work. “The Circle Sea” 11×14 print and the original Sketchbook drawing
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 […]
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.
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a Revisit

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.

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 […]
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 […]
