Hawaiian flag, Bodyboarding, letters from my mother, girlfriend Courtney, beer bottle opener from Lovefest, Keone's (brother) hook necklace, beloved nephew Joshy, first paycheck, mail from home and the ocean.
Finally settled with this composition
Started with pencil, blocked in all items, added tone to the background, did some details
In progress, a few more sitting will do it
Sorry for overusing the commas
Worked on a few more items on the collage, really enjoying the process for this piece.
