Latest Cover


Here is this weeks Honolulu Weekly Cover I did.
I put my sunglasses that I bought on St. Marks St. NYC on Ba Rock.
We were supposed to run a painting from Honolulu Art Academy's Asian American Art show.
But I didn't think it would make people pick up the paper. It was a painting of Bush and some other Military people in a Persian style. So I said off the top of my head. "Why don't we put some shades on Barock... everyone will pick up the paper". And the editor and art director were down. I had fun doing it. The Cover almost feels like my sketchbook...
or better yet, I feel like I a visual dj to Honolulu. I get to choose what the island sees. Let the island see through my eyes.

Signing off.
Aloha
