Howdy Tama!
Just checked out some of your carvings...I like the pieces that Kingstiedye owns-especially the Maori with the BIG tongue! That one cracks me up! I cannot wait to get some time and check out more! There must be an ARMY of artists here on TC! I'm moving to New Zealand,man! With you and Paipo and countless other carvers and artists, we could set up a colony! Start working on that and report back....Well, the Spooky Luau was fun! Check out pix of the show at http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20939&forum=17&start=15&27
In the excitement of pre-show energy, I produced 3 more new pieces in the space of 2 days...I will post two of them (the third "Spooky Clown Coat rack" is both disturbing and non-tiki)
The first piece is entitled "the Melee" and it used figures inspired from the Cannibal Shields sketchbook entry (a few posts back)..I decided to add arms ,and to try a brighter palette,kind of a fighting between the happy colors and the savage theme.....
This second one was effortless and just flowed out! I had done a sketchbook entry of this lightning drummer about a year ago, and the red ground on wood seemed like the best color
to let him make his debut!I really like how he turned out! Makes me want to do a bigger one!
Well, that's it folks! Three paintings and the Spooky Luau all in one weekend! That would account for the "vegetative laying around the house and reading" mode today!
I am beat and plum-tuckered out! G'night all!
