The good news is Im moving into a rental place in a couple of weeks or so, nice undercover area out the back for a tiki bar. And Ive been here on TC for over 2 years, and in 3 weeks Im headin up to party with Marcus :) Gotta love that full time job :) And the engine is going back into the wagon tomorrow, so not long before she's cruisin again. So the folks have gone away for the weekend, and the girlfriend for longer, and no plans for the night. May as well have a look around TC. After looking at Tiki Sharks Art and Lost Little Tiki its sets off a bomb in my head - on goes the Arthur Lyman, out comes the rum and here I am 4 hours later or something, somewhat merry and wondering how the hell this will read when Im sobre...hahaha Heres what came out of it all. Nothing great, but I sure as hell enjoyed making some tiki :) After seeing Tiki Sharks Art, decided to play with light and pastels. The light side is nowhere hear as smudgey as this makes it look - honest! Friday night at the volcano, can see the Lost tiki influence. Yes one of the tikis does have a trumpet. lava tiki. Supposed to look like hes made of molten lava, with a skin of floatin tectonic plates on the surface. In my mind it looked kool at least... and started to throw around some ideas for a home bar. How many folks have a live puffer in a fish tank IN their bar? Also note the moai with a snorkel, which doubles as a tank aerator :) Home bar is going to be the "Blue Moon Tiki Bar" cause tiki in Sydney rare as a blue moon, Blues is music of choice... Got a kool idea for when I get around to paint this up propely. Heavily influenced by Sam Gambino. Anyway, as I says before, nothing of great quality, but it was fun doing something again. Once Im in the house I can get into in a big way, should be sweet. And I can get onto practising my stripes again :)
