Art Wave at the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel

As the summer heats up and the south swell fills in, the great folks over at Greenroom Gallery helped us throw a killer art gathering at the ever cool Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel. Noa Emberson and I put new and original artwork on display and enjoyed a night overlooking Diamondhead with everyone who came out.

Greenroom Festival 2018 Recap

That's a wrap! Six Greenroom Festivals in the books and it's always a blast to be challenged and inspired each year.

New Hawaiian Islands Map Tote

New Hawaiian Islands Tote is now available for purchase! I was thinking about upping my advertising game by hiring a bunch of big shot actors from Hollywood, but then realized I had friends with Oscar-caliber talent in my very own neighborhood. If this informercial doesn't convince you, I'm not quite sure what will.
