Amy Davis at Le Sportsac
By Nadine Kam

If you want to know how a newspaper story is born, it's as simple as this: A little snippet of information comes via conversation, email or postcard like this one, and you just go hmm, that's really cool. I'm glad I know about this. Will other people like knowing this? Some things grab you right away, like the only-in-Hawaii images that fill Amy Davis' illustration for Le Sportsac, the goods debuting Sept. 1, 2007 at the Ala Moana Center store. Sorry I can't show you what said goods look like. Top secret until the unveiling (not even Amy has seen them!), so you'll have to go down there to check it out firsthand.



The work started with rough sketches like this one.

Inevitably, interviews sometimes veer off track, coz Amy is as passionate about her music with her husband Jon Moritsugu and her band, Low on High (https://www.myspace.com/lowonhigh) which just got signed to a Seattle label. Hey, she plays bass, I play drums and sing, we can relate.





At her home on Vashon Island, she's also got a School of Rock thing going on, tutoring impressionable girls on what rock 'n roll legends are made of. Below are, left to right, Mafya, Popcorn, Pirate, Rock C and Gorilla, of Iron Candy. Sez Amy, "They really are SICK ala Sonic Youth '97."
