Hilo Market is a custom print created for Keala, the owner of Buddah Mochi LLC. As you can tell from the title, it’s meant to capture the spirit of the Farmer’s Market in Hilo, Keala’s hometown. I’d been to Hilo before, but having not ever been to the market, I hoped I’d be able to capture its special essence, the thing she was looking for. Drawing took me a long time, mostly because I was enjoying myself so much. Each element was a lot of fun to create, from the tomatoes to the açaí bowl, from the pail of blooms to honey jar and bee. When we went to Hilo for our product photo shoot we walked from booth to booth and were met with smiles and compliments on the bags. They said the bags were a great representation of the market. They could have just been being kind, but even if they were, the joy in their faces seemed genuine, and that’s what this print Hilo Market is for me…pure joy. Pure chaotic joy.
