Hey TC, thanks for all the support, and stuff!
Wow, I got a reply from Kooche! NIFTY! Thank you, I LOVE yer stuff. I got all kinds of questions to ask you about your work, but I'll do that when I have some time... like after my show. Hey Ken, ya know in some tiki-cultures of the pacific pee-ing on someone's truck is a sign of friendship. (still, I'm gonna park BLOCKS away during the show.) So, Mama Tiki Shark (i.e. my mom) called and told me water was pouring down the kitchen walls in the apartment (yes, my mom lives with me. Hey, it's a tax break!) and the front room. All the paintings were in the apartment! Big freak out followed. So long story short, they are all ruined and the show is off! (just kidding!) No, mama tiki shark got her butt in gear and was a real trooper in hauling all the art to safety! (what a gal!) But, the whole disaster ate into valuable painting time!
Here's the 7th painting in it's slow and pitiful progress...

The sketch

sketched on the canvas

the first try, colors looked wrong...

as it is now.
It's an idea that Hewey gave me. A tiki fishing and catching a puffer fish light! Like there are puffer fish that come out of th sea like that! Cool huh!
AND,
(to make Squid Happy) Free booze at the art show. So yeah, there'll be wine. But I wanted something for my TC Ohana, so I figure I'd do a punch bowl filled with pucnh... and coconut rum. That sound right? Any suggestions?
back to painting...
Thanks again for looking at da art! U all R da best!
