The Big Kahuna!

This last week I've been very busy painting the signs for the new Kahuna Grill, opening up in the Paseo Neuvo mall. I did the signs for the Goleta restaurant as well. I'm happy and excited that the Kahuna is opening downtown for several reasons. First off, the owner, Dale Dellar, is one of the nicest, warmest most genuine people I've ever known. I want him to succeed because he deserves it and I'm honored to be the one doing these signs. I'm stoked to have my work displayed in such a prominent locale as the big mall in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara! I'm hoping that this will lead to more art business for me. I'm also stoked that the yummy Kahuna will be so close for me to enjoy the plate lunches & burgers. Mmmmm! I hope if you live in the Santa Barbara area you will go to the Kahuna and support them. I know that the rent in that mall is astronomical, and I hope they make it big time. The food is great!
So, please pass it on.
Here's some photos of the progression of all this sign painting...
