A few years ago I did the above illustration of Hawaii recording artist John Cruz for a promotional poster. Because he liked it, his manager contacted me late last year to commission a painting for recording artist Jack Johnson. John had been recording his newest album at Jack's studio on the North Shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii and wanted to thank him in some way. There is a huge mango tree located on the studio's property and the studio itself is decorated with mango themed artwork. So, I was asked to create a painting of a mango tree scene, based on the style of the original painting I did of John. Needless to say, I was pretty thrilled! ;-)
