One of my favorite recent collaborations has been with Japanese surf brand, Rikka Femme, whose parent company Murasaki Sports created two lines of artwork surfboards with my designs.  The first round featured my "Botanical" artwork on the tail and underside of the nose on a limited edition (of 100) 7'2" fun board shaped in Japan.  Next they came out with soft tops in two colors featuring my "Paradise" artwork on the underside of the nose in similar dimensions as the previous board.  I have been enjoying riding the limited edition board for quite some time now. It always feels exciting to be...

Every July for the past four years I have participated in the annual Haleiwa Arts Festival on the north shore of Oahu. This year the festival fell on July 18th & 19th, featuring over 90 artists, photographers, crafters, jewelers, and designers displaying their creations in booths along the beach park.  We spent weeks preparing by building and painting the booth walls, ordering products, and creating new artwork.

Everything from original paintings, to...
