✨malu // protect. shelter. house. secure.

“The symbolism depicted on a tatau or malu represents a covenant between a Samoan and his or her way of life. It is "O Mea Sina." It is sacred. The word malu means protect, shelter, security. Malu also means house. The woman is therefore seen in Samoan culture as the protector and shelter of the children, the family, and the village. She is the giver of bloodlines." - Zita Sefo-Martel

Oh & BTW I do make art to hang on your walls. 😂😂😂 I’ve been so busy trying to figure out ways to weather the C19 storm that I’ve neglected some other key elements of my career. I’ve not created a new, actual piece, one to be wall-displayed for a couple weeks, I sort of feel ashamed. I’ve been so busy doodling & creating distractions for myself. I hope to get into something soon. For now, I remind you, nearly all my art can be seen & acquired at the ArtByTai online manor.

#Repost @disneyanimation with @repostapp ・・・ #Repost @therock Here in Hawaii and for our world premiere trailer of #Moana I wanted to do something cool for the fans on live TV (Good Morning America) and give the world as taste of our Polynesian culture. This is our "Fa'ataupati" also known as the Samoan Slap Dance. This is the short version for tv but you can feel it's power and mana. Shout to my boys @Ptevaga & @Arteec03 of #TihatiProductions for joining me at 3AM bringin' the energy to introduce our culture to the world. And for helping me wake up all the hotel guests😉 This dance has got my creative wheels spinnin' now to do something very special, cool and historic for our red carpet world premiere of #Moana at Thanksgiving. We'll see. That may require a lot more baby oil😂. #Moana #WorldPremiereTrailer #PolynesianCulture #FaaSamoa #TheJouneyBegins 🌊🎼🌺
