Film Is Not Dead

Through a random set of events, I had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan Canlas a few months back.  Jon is a great photographer and mastermind behind the “Film is Not Dead” Workshops.  He’s a really creative dude that still shoots film… Don’t just take my word for it!  Check out his site – http://canlasphotography.blogspot.com/

I am designing a few custom prints showcasing his upcoming events… Here are a couple concepts for his North Shore workshop coming to Hawaii in December.  Enjoy!

 

 

London Print for Christina

Here’s a custom design I just finished.  Christina contacted me and wanted a print designed that captured her and her husband’s love of all things London!   I chose the London eye because of its great visual possibilities.   It came out delightfully retro…Enjoy!

Thanks to Hawai`i Magazine for including my work in this month’s editorial “20 Things We Love About Hawai`i Right Now”!!  They featured a couple of my favorites, the Haleiwa Town print and Na Pali Coast print.  Thanks Mae and Catherine!

Everything is Jake! made it in a couple of magazines this month!  First of all, congrats to one of our vendors, Stacey Nomura from South Shore Paperie, for being named Honolulu Magazine’s best stationery store! Her letterpress stationery has a great, timeless feel to it.   Our retro postcard set got a shout out, too!  The “Hana Highway” and “Haleakala Crater” prints were also featured in an interior design project in Maui No Ka Oi Magazine.  Check out the “East Maui Love” series prints in the Island Living section!
