Very Cool Rain,
I like your work. Your site looks like you spent some late nights on it. Nicely done. I particully like the piece in the Moia gallery with the saucer powering up the Moia. Mysterious contrast and color in all your paintings add a nice moody quality. Interesting point that Tiki_bong made about the Shagness of you tiki drummers. I to have a bit of trouble as an artist not letting the artists who I am influenced by creep in my work. Shag hisself looked at some of my work online a few years ago and commented on a moai graphic that I had used on my web page that looked similar to a tatu that he had drawn for one of the Bomboras. What could I say? Dude, your an influence, thanks for looking. He was totally cool and had positive comments about my work. Had I completely ripped him off, It may have been another story. but there was enough Chongolio in there to make it unique. My point none really, just relating as another artist who has the tiki as his muse.
