Honestly this is a special design about my Hawaiian Culture.

When I was younger I learned some Hula with some other kids and families. It was a fun time as a kid to learn to dance and perform Hula.

This collection represents so much of my culture, from working the land to being in the ocean, yet it feels like I could create more. As I grew up on the mainland, I didn't get to do a lot of this as a kid, but I am grateful for what I have experienced from my culture.

Most of all I am grateful to be from Hawai‘i, a place full of aloha, who love the land, people and the ocean. May this collection give you an opportunity to go to Hawai‘i and enjoy the fresh air.

WHAT YOU GET

27 art pieces and a signed certificate.

  • 27 art pieces, 3840 × 2160 (4K), PNG. All twenty-seven are shown on this page
  • A certificate of authenticity with my signature on it

Every piece is signed. Nothing is held back and nothing is upsold later.

WHAT IS IN IT

  • Hula. Hula kahiko danced together and danced alone, hula ‘auana at sunset, and the pahu that keeps the time
  • Working the land. Harvesting kalo, a family working a flooded lo‘i, and ku‘i ‘ai, pounding kalo on the papa
  • Making. Shaping a wa‘a hull with an adze, weaving lauhala, beating wauke into kapa, and making lei together
  • Being in the ocean. Casting the ‘upena, bringing in the line, preparing the catch, spearfishing over the reef, free diving, and hunting he‘e
  • Riding it. Carving a wave, deep inside the barrel, a one-man outrigger in the whitewater, and he‘e hōlua down the sled track
  • Strength, and the stories. Lā‘au palau, Hi‘iakaikapoliopele at Kīlauea, and Huaka‘i Pō, the Night Marchers, beneath the Nu‘uanu Pali

PUTTING THEM UP

On a computer. Open the folder and pick a piece. On a Mac, System Settings → Wallpaper → Add Photo. On Windows, right click the piece and choose Set as desktop background.

On a phone or tablet. Get the piece onto your phone, save it to your photos, then open your photos app and set it as your wallpaper.

These are 16:9, the shape of most computer screens and TVs. On a screen with a different shape, it will crop or sit with a border.

ON YOUR TV

Your TV cannot see the folder on your computer. It can show your art in one of two ways, from a USB stick you plug in, or from a photo account your TV is already signed in to. Pick whichever suits you, you do not need both.

Way 1, a USB stick. Nothing to sign up for, and your files are not uploaded or shrunk.

  1. Copy the art onto a USB stick
  2. Plug the stick into your TV
  3. Open your TV's photo app and start a slideshow. Every brand names it differently, look for Photos, Media, Gallery or USB

On a Samsung Frame, press Power twice to reach Art mode, then My Collection → your USB device → pick the pieces → Save Selected.

Way 2, a photo account. Better if you want the art to appear on its own, with nothing plugged in.

  1. Use the account your TV already signs in to. Google TV or Android TV → Google Photos. Apple TV → Photos on your iPhone or Mac. Fire TV → Amazon Photos. Roku → the Backdrops app
  2. Upload the art there and put it in an album. An album is just a named group of photos, call it TV Art. If you are using Google Photos, choose Settings → Backup → Backup quality → Original quality first, or your files get shrunk and it cannot be undone
  3. Point your TV at that album. Google TV or Android TV: Settings → System → Ambient mode → Settings → Source → Google Photos → your album. Apple TV: Photos app on the Apple TV → Albums → your album → Set as Screen Saver. Fire TV: Settings → Display & Sounds → Screensaver → Current Screensaver → your album. Roku: Backdrops app → Add your photos → Upload photos → scan the code with your phone
  4. On Google TV, set Slideshow mode to Basic, turn Curate photos off, and turn off everything under On screen info

The full guide, with every step written out, is in your download.

A finished AI-assisted image can look like everyone else's. The artist's vision is always different.

An artist that is inspired and directs his AI Assistant. I work with AI to create my vision and I am the Hawaiian that brings the inspiration to the creation.
