HANGING OUT WITH MY BRADAS & SHOWING OFF MY NEW T-SHIRTS.

ME AND MY BRADAS GOT TO FINALLY HANG OUT AFTER IOKEPA RETURNED FROM HIS HOLIDAY TRIP.  WE WENT OUT TO EAT AND I GAVE THEM THEIR EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT.

MY NEW T-SHIRTS ARRIVED AND I STARTED THE "AUMAKUA EDITION SERIES" WHICH I HOPE THEY LIKE AND I'LL BE ADDING MORE NEW DESIGNS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  SO THE FIRST EDITION IS THE "MANO" EDITION WHICH MEANS "SHARK" IN HAWAIIAN.  I CHOOSE THE HAMMERHEAD SHARK BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE IMAGE AND YET I FELT IT HAS IT'S OWN BEAUTY IN IT'S OWN NATURE.  ALSO THIS PRINT COMES OFF FROM MY TATTOOED LEFT FOREARM WHICH I HAD INKED BACK IN 2007.  I FELT THAT THIS WOULD BE A COOL WAY TO DISPLAY MY HAWAIIAN HERITAGE.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU LIKE IT AND FEEL FREE TO ORDER ONE FOR YOURSELF!!!
