Hello Hewey!
No Rum-infusion! lots of coffee,the quiet of the studio,a lil' reading, some lunch, a nap, and a couple tokes was it! Booze is for Mug Collectors and writers,not creating Visual Arts!
Brad!
We have a mutual inspiration pact, I'm just keeping my side of the bargain!
:) Yes, I have been on an Easter Island jag for the past week in a Hardcore fashion! These sketches will do quite well when I start on another 5 footer! So when you gonna start on the bubbles in that Sunken Tiki painting? Bubbles are the funnest part of underwater scenes because you can visually record the movement of a few seconds back! Lovin' the one you're working on and can't wait to see the next ones! You really need to bust out a 6 footer, just to get it out of the way!
Ben,
No Way am I gonna chip into the surfborg! Chongolio gave me a beauty of a board when he visited! that's the one I'm gonna tackle! Dave said it is a big MESS, so I'll just bring it over to your workspace to work on it! he also said that the foam sticks to your skin! (and probably lungs!)
Never heard of Mike Roberts-introduce us!
I showed at Brophy's Sea Monster Ball with a great talented guy Phil Roberts...
could he be the one you're talkin about?
Anyways, thanks for lookin! Here's what I worked on yesterday in the garage/home studio...

Very chilly yesterday, so I just went semi-deep with the grooves and stained it up for painting later!Here's the sketchbook entry...

and here's a detail....

It also looks cool upside down too!

i like this one because,even tho it's just one of those cheesey decorative paddles
you hang in your Swedish kitchen, the shape translated perfectly into the image
I wanted to portray!Yay! Yippee! Gotta go!
