This page will be continually expanding as other artists are included. For the graphics enthusiasts, the background tile was created by scanning one of my Aloha shirts with a Microtek E3 Scanmaker and processing a portion of the scan with Ulead's PhotoImpact 3.0 SE software. Douglas Po'oloa Tolentino is a full-time musician and artist who lives on the Windward side of O'ahu. Po'oloa can be found singing and playing music in Waikiki Thursdays and Saturday evenings in the Maitai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Sunday morning brunches at the Moana Surfrider, and Fridays with the group Puamana for the Navitech cruises. Po'oloa's art work includes several year's worth of Merrie Monarch posters, as well as pastels and watercolors which are proudly hung in many island homes.
Note cards are also available, a sample of which is shown below.
