A couple of my favorite letters from the new mural for @honolulucoffee // Showing support for Hawaii Lifeguard Association and sunset in Town // ‘Apapane bird and Lehua blossoms painted by @landrexd // #shipshapesigns #alwayhandpaint #anywherealoha #brewedwithaloha (at Honolulu Coffee)

From the sky by @_seanmichel aka @lumierevisualshi and detail shots off my phone of a new mural collab with @landrexd for @honolulucoffee welcoming all to Waikiki. // #alwayhandpaint #shipshapesigns #brewedwithaloha #anywherealoha (at Honolulu Coffee)

New mural at the gateway to Waikiki at @honolulucoffee // This was really fun to design and paint, there’s a story behind the content of each letter like the time in the late ‘90s when we snuck in to the Royal Hawaiian pool after some underage boozing and I cracked my head diving into the shallow end. Big thanks to @landrexd for painting the surfer and Apapane aka Hawaiian Honeycreeper, also to @olukai for documenting, recap video by @_seanmichel / @lumierevisualshi to follow after the unveiling coming soon. // #alwayhandpaint #shipshapesigns #brewedwithaloha #anywherealoha #ntlcru (at Honolulu Coffee)

I thought Curb Your Enthusiasm style of soundtrack would accompany these time lapse shots well. Spending ages brushing these outlines is pretty funny to rewatch.

Ups and downs are a matter of perspective. Living in a culture obsessed with winning, I treasure my losses as proof of life. . I hope we can embrace our vulnerability and seek to comfort those who mistake a loss for a failure. . “Fly your flag high” One Shot enamel on a perfect panel made by @chejka for “It’s So Warm in the D” group exhibition at @kostudiogallery in Detroit with my #ntlcru opening 6.9.18 // #shipshapesigns #alwayshandpaint #flyyourflaghigh (at KO Studio Gallery)

Feeling very fortunate to be able to visit cities and leave my mark whether big or small. It’s even more amazing to return and get to know these communities more and more, understand a sense of place, listen to the people who live there, see the changes, both good and bad.
