Seventeen years ago I attended a local family auction here in Hawaii and was lucky enough to score this amazing print of "Higgy-Baby"! It has adorned my walls for all those years and been an amazing conversation piece many times with friends who were fellow fans of Magnum PI. People enter my home and the first thing they would remark on is Higgins. Sadly the time has come to pass it on, due to pressure from the 'other half'. No more space on the wall and she is tired of Higgy.

In the late 80's John Hillerman hired and posed for a famous local Hawaiian artist named Dawn Traina who sketched his portrait. Hillerman made a limited series of prints of the portrait, and hand signed them passing them out to very close friends as gifts. These prints are highly rare. John Hillerman gave this portrait to a friend and hand signed personal note on it.
Currently I have this posted on EBay.

Please understand, I am not trying to use the blog as a solicitation. But I am very serious in that I would like one of you out there to get the same joy and happiness that this gave to me for so many years. Not to be bought by some Los Angeles memorabilia house and be resold for $$$$$.
Mahalo,
Owen
