Grog -Thanks, But, the Scuba diver (Tiki Don) is back and knows it's done. He's been watching on TC too! Keep watching , I know you'll get one if you really want it!, Rev Bam Boo Ben - Paranormal! Yeah, now that you mention it, there's all kinds of creepy faces in there. (And I thought I was subliminally putting in phallus's!), LLT - I know buddy, it's non-carbonated!, Vampy -now now let's play nice! , Bora Boris - Yeah, he does look mad about that eel!, frostiki -It was like immersion therapy, you looked at that eel for weeks till it didn't bother you anymore!, JPmartdog - Thanks for the kind words!, Sneakytiki - Mahalo!, Hewey - thanks! the next one...hmmm..., Tiki-Tonga - Thanks! a print. Yes, I think this one could be the first art print., Joontiki - Wow, thanks! Okay, a print. I talked to local art gallery folks, and they told me of a guy who makes fine art prints here on the Big Island. So, I don't have to send off to Maui or LA to get them done. Cool, saves some cash! So, here's a question. How much do you think I should charge for a fine art print? $100.00? What size? I have to figure out how much to spend on getting them created, what size, an all that. Never done this before... so what would you pay?

Ken urged me to sketch while I was all hopped up on cold medicine. So I sketched up this weird tiki-fever-dream............

So, it's a wahine sitting in a tree in front of a volcano being served a smoking tropical drink by a "Robby the Robot" looking tiki, that is delivering it from a Tiki Lounge, that is actually an abandoned science lab harboring an alien brain that wouldn't die, (ala "Donavon's Brain") with a giant moai carved into the mountain behind it. (My my, that cold medicine WAS good stuff!)

Don't know if that's actually my next painting, seems a bit crowded... but I do like the "Robby the tiki" waiter w/the wild drink. Perhaps I'll re-sketch it.
Thanks everyone, that's all from this Tiki Shark fer now...
Aloha from the Big Island!
