Hui No Ke Ola Pono and the Holidays

This last month, my friend Justin Kunz was kind enough to refer me to Elias Akinaka, of Hui No Ke Ola Pono in Maui. Elias was really good to design for and had an interesting project for the native Hawaiian health organization that he works for. He asked me to design some traditional Hawaiian patterns for bandages as well as a simple illustration to promote healthy lifestyles. It was educational to work out the specific native details.

Being the Christmas holidays, my brother was in town, which makes for many opportunities for talking shop. My father Richard, brother Thomas, brother-in-law John Jensen, best friend Brad McCall, and I all have a background in design. Tom just received an invite to judge the Communication Arts photography annual.

    Once again excellent work on this project! Too bad there wasn’t a press check involved with this project, it would have been great to take a little Maui vacation, right? I suppose it’s always nice to do projects that are for clients in warmer locales when the snow flies in ours.

    How did I miss this post?

    BANDAGES? how freaking cool…will you get to see some? If I were you I would totally wear them in plain sight, just so people would say, “Hey nice bandage” and then I would say, “Ya, that’s cause I designed it.”

    That would be awesome.
