“Five or six of us were sitting by the campfire one night, it’s late—it’s like two in the morning—and we hear chanting coming from up valley where no one lives. We’d heard this Hawaiian chanting one other time late at night. We thought it must be the menehune, ancestors of the original Hawaiians that were here before the Tahitians invaded, little people that now live in secret valleys and hide from everybody. They only come out at night; they do all their work at night and they finish every project before sunrise.”

“The menehune are master stonemasons; they built fishponds, trails, and ditches all around Kauai. They were a race of much shorter Hawaiian people but then they kind of disappeared. They still might be here—on Kauai, hiding in a valley deep in the mountains not far from here. On some nights a light would come bouncing down the trail and light up the wall outside my house. Some people could see it but a number of people couldn’t see it, though it was as bright as the moon and red. It was a good spirit and so I was never afraid of that spirit too much. I tried not to freak myself about it. I didn’t really consider myself that spiritual a person, the kind of person that would have these extraordinary experiences, you know I mean, to see things that you don’t even believe in is like when you have to believe in them.” — Allan Kroll

PHOTO PRINTS

Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS

What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
