Aloha Shirt designed in my studio for TheBus,manufactured by Island Traditions

Driver Marktin Asuncion,life long resident of Oahu, is an artist though it's been awhile since he had time to draw. He lives in the Makiki  neighbourhood in Honolulu.

There were a lot of passengers coming and going with little time to talk more.

After I removed my bike from the rack on the front of the bus, we waved to each other and I rode off past a large group of tourists .

Oahu TheBus & Handivan drivers wear Aloha Shirts designed in my studio

I rode my bike across town today to meet with a client for a new project. On my way to the meeting I stopped by the sewing factory that the majority of shirts are sewn in; these rolls of fabric in several colorways were in line to be unrolled ,cut and made into more uniforms for the City and County's  drivers.

The  Master/original art was hand painted in a khaki green as shown here.

Island Traditions manufactured this shirt.
