OOOOOOOOkay!
Sorry 'bout those derailments!
A big thank you to all of you for that momentary diversion...Word Jazz,huh?
Like those Tom Waits dialogs on his album with that craaaaaaazy swingin
music in the background,I imagine!
pdrake,Ernie,Ben...go harass Squid or somethin! :)
This is a serious art thread! :wink:
Surf-n-Turf:
All colors exist,it's just which ones you mix together...you know the deal!
Your dinghy rocks by the way! Man, if i ever win the lotto, you and Ben are
gonna trick out my homestead! :)
SamGam:
Great working with you on the mug contest! It's always nice to play
with no restraints...that's when the funstuff happens! I'll hit you up once
the 1-shot fever strikes ! Can't wait to se what you do to your
Rocketship Bisque for the DvA Show! Pretty poster too! Bling!
TeaKey: Great Observation! Now go harass Squid! :)
Enough Niceties....Now onto the Art...
Again, the Muse clung on my back like a Buckin Bronco this
Thursday and Friday..allowing me to create even more goodies
for the TikiFarm Parking Lot Sale next month!
Still haven't gotten my battery for the camera,so there's about
4-5 pieces you won't see in totally (or at all) until I get that!
Sorry! BusyBoy Syndrome!
Let's start with a Cannibal Paddle...gouache on gessoed wood paddle!
I like his hunched up shoulders!

Next is "Baby Cannibal and Plaything" Watercolor and Ink on WC paper

"Big Kahuna's Big Feast" Watercolor and Ink on WC paper

Please excuse the cropping-my scanner is teeny!
"the Skull Eater"Watercolor and Ink on WC paper

and a happy "Rarotongan" Watercolor and Ink on WC paper

Here's my favorite of the batch..."the Fruit Bearer"
He's Watercolor and Ink on WC paper,and has such a sweet
happy attitude! I think he wants to be a big painting someday!

And here's the last one I scanned....I still have a 16X20 "JOURNEY"
piece,as well as an Orongo Chief,another paddle,and some Bird of Paradise
warriors that still need the edges and stuff painted....so I'll post those when
i get my batteries for the camera...
This last piece took the whole Friday Morning,but i was so pleased with it
that I had to at least scan a few details from it ...
"Portrait of an Islander" Gouache on gessoed Wooden Serving Plate..
Actually got this one from Squid! He's got some great thrift stores near his home!
Thank you Sir! Here's a middle scan with the portrait...

and here's a view of the Border area...

I'll get a full shot as soon as....you guessed it! I get a battery for the
digital camera! Anyways!
But wait!
This just in!
Another finished piece to gawk at and a couple of old pieces I promised
to post for Paipo and Tamalamadingdong!
First off, here's my Orongo(Tangata Manu) Chieftan,all dainty and
purdy in this fancy frame...

and the next two are oldies that I'm posting JUST for Tama and
Paipo,so don't look!
I said don't look!
Sheesh!
the Nerve!
Anyways....we were joking about this piece

saying how he looked like he belonged in the KIZZ Army and
I recalled two Hard-Rock themed Tiki Sketchbook entries
that were created last year...well, after hunting thru 6 sketchbooks
here they are! "Maori Rocker"

and seeing as no Heavy Metal Band is without a driving
Beat...here is a Tiki Drummer for you both!

Thanks for visiting and Hope to see you
at the TikiFarm Parking Lot Sale on April 14th!!! HiHo!
