Aloha everybody!

I've finally had prints made of the painting I did of the Stockton Islander!

These are 11x14 (for easy framing!) Giclee prints using Epson Ultrachrome professional archival inks on acid-free Somerset Velvet paper.
The paper has a nice texture that totally complements the high-quality image captured of the actual painting. The detail is fantastic! You can actually see the weave of the original canvas from the original painting in the prints, which is perfectly complemented by the texture of the paper!

The print is completed with a title, which is culled from another painting I did of a vintage Stockton Islander Menu, featuring an image of the famous Bumatay tiki that is associated with this legendary Tiki Temple.

This is an edition of only 25 prints, each signed and numbered. The prints debuted at the Forbidden Island Parking lot sale on September 25th, and I've already sold some... I've had lots or requests for prints of this painting... I hope everyone likes the final result!

The prints are 50.00, including shipping. Please PM me if you have any questions.
Paypal payments can be made to ericoctober@gmail.com

Mahalo fer lookin'!
Yer pal,
Eric October

I got one at Forbidden Island last week,(thanks Tobunga!) and it is awesome. The photos are nice but this print looks so much better in person. I'm framing mine in some real Islander bamboo.

I will ship free of charge, enough real Stockton Islander bamboo to make your own frame to the first person who buys a print and sends me a PM.

Well the Islander print is in the Islander bamboo frame. A big thanks to Tobunga and Abstract for this great opportunity.

This is a really great print that looks even better in authentic Islander bamboo.
