ABOUT THIS PRINT
My pineapple illustration series celebrates the Hawaiian Islands’ many great activities, places and the cultural traditions with a little whimsy and a lot of Aloha! I titled the series after the name Hawaiian’s gave the pineapple when it first arrived. “Hala Kahiki” sort of means “Foreign Fruit” and was coined because the pineapple looks so much like the fruit of a Hala tree, one of the “boat plants” brought by the first Polynesian settlers.
PACKAGING
Each artwork is well protected in an archival mylar sleeve and shipped rolled in a cardboard tube.
PAPER
Each is made on the highest quality archival paper. I use Epson’s "Velvet", 100% cotton rag, buffered, and acid-free Fine Art Paper.
INKS
I only print using the archival Epson UltraChrome K3 Inks with Vivid Magenta ensuring the widest color range and permanence.
ABOUT FRAMING AND STORING YOUR ART
The high quality ink and paper ensure that your fine art print terrifically displays fine detail and a wonderful chromatic range that is guaranteed to last. I recommend the artworks remain in their acid-free packages until they can be safely framed behind UV filtering glass or plexiglass. Remember that nothing can protect your art from direct, continuous sun exposure! Park your art in the shade, y’all.
