             The lithographs of Spectrum (11.7" x 15.5"), as well as the lithographs of Currents (11.7" x 16.6"), have recently sold out and will no longer be available. We thank everyone who purchased these prints from this website!

             Recently Alex put final touches on the portrait that Gavin MacLeod posed for in person. Completed not long before Gavin passed away, it stands as a lasting tribute to his life and much-loved personality. Gavin has been a great friend, supporter, and collector of Alex's work over many years. Stay tuned for more information to be posted on this website at a later time.

        The offset lithograph edition of Destination (11.7" x 15.6") has sold out. This marks a milestone, as this edition was twice as large as Alex's other offset print editions. Special thanks to Go Kailua magazine for featuring a full-page spread of this image in their article about Alex's artwork last year.

Last month we received hits from visitors in more than 25 countries, a record number of visitors remained on the site for more than an hour, and 37 percent of you added the site to your "favorites" folders. The number of visits exceeds all expectations for a site not intended for major commercial traffic. We appreciate every one of your visits, and we're grateful to all those who have ordered Giclees, lithographs, and greeting cards. 

      Due to the overwhelming response to Alex's fundraiser for the Red Cross, and the continued need for funds to help hurricane victims, he has decided to extend "Art from the Heart" for another month. Collectors who send donations payable to the American Red Cross can now obtain the free prints through October. To read the article posted on the Channel 2 News website, click HERE; to read a press release about the fundraising drive, click HERE.

       On September 7th, KHON Channel 2 TV News visited Alex's studio. Morning News anchor Tannya Joaquin interviewed Alex about his art and current fundraising drive, and Alex was filmed putting touches on one of his Giclees. The interview aired on the September 8th evening news and twice on the September 9th morning news. To read the article posted on the KHON2 website, click HERE; to view still shots from the film, click HERE and scroll down the page.

      To raise funds for hurricane relief efforts, Alex is giving away free prints of two of his artworks to anyone who sends him a donation of $75 or more for the American Red Cross. As reported in The Honolulu Advertiser, you can acquire the prints by sending Alex a check payable to the Red Cross. His fundraising drive will continue through September. (Note: since this news item was posted, Alex has extended his fundraiser through October.) For more information, click HERE.

      Billboards and displays featuring Alex's painting Aloha! on the cover of the Paradise Pages have been installed at public locations on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. Locations where the signs appear on Oahu include Honolulu International Airport, the Hawaii State Convention Center, the University of Hawaii, and Ward Center. The signs vary in shape and range in size up to approximately 20 feet wide.

       As reported in The Honolulu Advertiser, last year Alex joined a mountain climbing expedition on Aconcagua in South America to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western hemisphere, rising to an elevation of 22,841 feet in the Andes range. Since his trip Alex has been working on a painting based on the climb. The painting, which is titled The Stone Sentinel, is now completed. All proceeds from sales of the Limited Edition print of the painting are being donated to the MDA. To date, several thousand dollars have been contributed to the Association by collectors who have ordered the prints.

      As those of you living in Hawaii may have noticed, Alex's art is currently featured on the cover of the statewide Paradise Pages phone book. Alex's cover painting, entitled Aloha!, depicts a hula dancer on a beach. This is the only hand-painted work of art ever chosen for the cover of the Paradise Pages. For more information on the painting, click HERE.
