“The story behind this piece came to me while I was reflecting on humanity as a whole. What keeps recurring to me as I continue to draw, learn and study more about Hawaii’s native animals, is that although we are doing as much as we can to clean up our earth, we are also the reason why the clean up has to happen in the first place. In the end, we're just doing our best to clean up our mess. Our earth will be okay, she will regenerate. However, no matter what we do, we impact each other and the earth. If we forget about our duty here as caretakers to the land and to each other, perhaps we are inevitably forgetting about our own existence too; the human existence. Can the earth continue to sustain our ever changing rhythms of modern civilization? Can we?
This drawing is a representation of just that. Man, throwing up the shaka one last time. Hang loose everyone!! It could be a bumpy ride.
The birds featured in this drawing are the Akiapola'au - one of many honey creeper birds that are endangered on the Big Island of Hawaii.”
This is an open edition print of "Mans’ Last Shaka," created in 2023 using ink. These prints are created with William Turner 310 gsm/ 100% cotton paper and are very high quality. "Open Edition" means that this print will be created forever but is not signed and numbered.
The original was created in 2023 on 9 x 12" Hot Pressed Watercolor Paper using Ink.
These prints are made to order, which means it may take up to 2 weeks for me to process your order before they are marked as shipped.
