This week has been full of "hellos"... hello to the North Shore after being away 3 months, hello to my hanai family, the big waves and humid air, hello again to love and heartache, hello to secret places and hideouts, to chilly nights, a house full of puppies, to the trail of sand that follows me everywhere I go....
I got my big box of Triple Crown shirts this week (my design was chosen as official Triple Crown merchandise) and even though I was given a generous amount to give away to friends and family, I'm already running out!  The design printed well and I'm very happy with it.  Unfortunately the towel design ended up with a very large white border around it for some reason.  I'm not stressing about it too much though, I'm already mentally gunning for next years design.  
This weekend I will be painting at the Wyland Gallery North Shore with my good friend Heather Brown (designer of the Women's Triple Crown poster).  If you're in the area, please stop by and say hello we'd love to meet you.  It's the Wyland in Haleiwa (North Shore Marketplace across from Quicksilver)
Much aloha...
