what's on the horizon...

This is an art blog where I will be adding new drawings and paintings of Hula girls and Tiki Gods every week, sometimes more, along with related videos, Hawaiiana and tons of Tiki trivia. So crack open a cold one and enjoy the show.

'Papaku'" ( bottom of the ocean )

Free Diving Wahine exploring Hawaii's magnificent coral reefs.  Archaeologists said that people have been earning their sustenance from freediving since the 5th century BCE. The first nation which was famous for it was the haenyeo in Korea. They collected shells and sponges to sell to others. The Ama Divers from Japan began to collect pearls 2000 years ago.[4][5] But also the spearfishers around the Mediterranean Sea were important for the historical background for the movement of the apnea sport.


fun free diving
