By Artist Gregg "Viz" Visintainer
"Off California" is a dedication and recreation of the famous woodcut, "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa", by artist Katsushika Hokusai. Gregg always loved the original woodcut but had visualized a sunset in place of Mt. Fuji. Hidden inside the waves are dedications to Hokusai and Japan. Everything hidden inside of the sun relates to California. "Off California" is mixing both sides of the Pacific Ocean and both artists with a California twist.
