THIS IS THE END

24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Metal

End of the day, end of the month, end of the year, end of this project. End… of this project. This is all starting to seem very unreal. Like I’m in this long running dream that won’t… end. But everything comes to an end and in the end, the end is the opportunity to start something new. Something new… that will eventually… end.

HAPPY

24″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Metal

Look around you, are you happy with what you have? Are the things you’ve bought enough to make you not sad? Do you ever find yourself down and feeling lost? Go spend a little cash, doesn’t matter what it costs? Can the diamond ring on your finger with the shine replace the person who died digging it out from the mine? Are you happy? Does your fancy car with the leather seats and the heat make you forget about the people with no shoes on their feet? Are you happy? I hope your family and your friends are all you really need. I hope you value the water you drink and the air that you breath. I hope the love that’s all around gives you its embrace. I hope when you walk by there’s a smile on your face. Be happy…

EDDIE AIKAU

24″ x 36″ Mixed Media Metal

Eddie Aikau (May 4, 1946-March 17, 1978)

There are surf stars and there are surf stars. Some become great. A few become heroes. Most fade into obscurity. Every now and then, a surfer comes along who transcends the desires, dreams and expectations of others. And his very life becomes a myth. Eddie Aikau is one. Perhaps because he embodies the twin themes — the stoke and the tragedy — of Hawaiians, the people who gave surfing to the world and took so little in return. click for more…

Jr. Gong

12″ x 24″ Aerosol on Metal

He is arguably one of the greatest reggae musicians of all time, but that is not so surprising. Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley is the son of Bob Marley. It is obvious that the king of reggae has passed down his talent through the blood lines. This music must endure. It is the music of the people and who better to share it with us than Jr. Gong?
