LLT little lost tiki Tiki Socialite Orange,CA-right near the Circle! Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Fri, Sep 8, 2006 9:10 AM Yippee! Finally Friday! My art/studio/catch up on stuff day! (I was audacious enough to tell my boss that I only work 4 days a week for him and the rest is for Kenny art and domestic stuff (ie: family/naps/researching/etc.) Tikiwahine,you're so sweet! It's really weird seeing one's art translated to the 3rd dimension, and it's gonna be weirder feelin it! I love the way mugs feel anyway, their weight. balance, and texture are always a thrill! The colors provided by the natural world seems to bring about a peace and happiness beyond words! Being a teenager during the mid-late 70's, I'm drawn to that Avocado-Olive-Burnt Orange Shag Carpet/Interior colors as well as the pallettes from old matchbooks and Hawaiian Shirts.Being in the tee & apparel industry you find out that color is key! The fun part about being a painter as well is that with the paintings, one can experiment, where in the fashion industry, there's no room for error! It was weird when I was getting my giclee' prints done and seeing the work with the colors shifted just a hair-it threw off the balance or mood or movement of the painting! Inner voice-an artist's best friend when it comes to calling out colors! Oli-Oli is looking forward to seeing your newly renovated abode! Tikinomad and tiki5-0, Mahaloz to you both! It's so much fun when a group of friends is excited about the same thing at once! Kinda like a 6-year old's birthday party before the sugar rush diminishes! Thanks you guys, spread the word! I'd love to sell out of these, because...not only will my children have great appreciative homes, but those sales would encourage Holden to do more little lost tiki mugs!!!! which would be even more fun piled on top of more fun! Smogbreather is such the stoked individual! He's quick with ideas, he listens, he allows the artist soooo much input, and is such the mug-savant! I'm learning so much, and hope to be able to contribute to the world of Tiki for many many years! Thanks again and check back here from time to time! The end of the year will be here before you know it! Hiphipahula, Very cool to meet you fellow LEO! Thanks for checkin out the website!My current website only covers work from about 2001 up (mostly, the past 2-3 years) I have been painting since 1989 and have covered so much ground.Dozens of paintings have been lost before I began recording them! The spiritual works chart my personal interests in religion and myth, just mixed thru a blender of comic books, history books, and growing up in Illinois in the 60's 70's.... Yes, I have finally begun to meet people who are just as driven and crazy as the man I see in the mirror everyday. The coolest thing about them is that they remain driven and happy and doing what they love! Tikifarm and Squid are two Legends in this genre and I feel truly, truly blessed to know them! Holden and I are also working on Tiki Coloring Posters-4 of 'em! Here's the TC thread on dat! (Chongolio colored up one in the computer that's insane!) http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=19807&forum=18&hilite=coloring%20page and it gives you a link to print out our "Surf's up!" homage to tikis. Three more in the works! It's times like these when I wanna give my 3-week noticwe and just free-fall into the full-time artist lifestyle. If you're down in Santa Ana on Saturday (the 9th) between 7 and 11 pm-stroll down to the Caged Chameleon Gallery at 1505 North Main St. and see my tiki art exhibit for it's last night! That applies to all of you within earshot, I'd love to see you! Mahaloz!

Yippee!
