I was talking to Tyler , University of Hawaii film student and bicycle mechanic at McCully Bicycle & Sporting Goods, while he installed a surf board rack onto my bicycle. He worked as a film intern on the sets of "Lost" and "The Descendants". He was part of the film crew that took George Clooney to Tori Richard/Kahala Sportswear headquarters in Honolulu, the day that "Skills", the Kahala Aloha Shirt designed in my Kailua Art Studio,was chosen to be used in George's wardrobe.
I rode over to Hawaiian Graphics to buy a portfolio to try out the new set-up. It's exactly what I needed and had hoped for.
On the way to my art studio, I stopped off at Holly Young's bronze sculpture/fountain of "Makua and Kila" ( characters in the children's story written by Surfer and Educator Fred Van Dyke) to photograph my bicycle. The monk seal is an endangered species,beautifully represented here with a young boy on his surf board.
My next client meeting will be delivery of their new hand painted Aloha Shirt design,carried across Honolulu in this portfolio by bicycle.
