HI KIDS!
Even more stuff for the Parking Lot Sale! You guys better show up!
But first..replies to friends...
Brad,
Been shooting everything hi-rez and filing it up! I got over 150 tiki paintings documented-maybe closer to 200...book someday hopefully! And that kid's book that always gets kicked out of the way and never gets done...Glad i could charge up your old energy banks buddy! Lovin to death that new skull-eyed cannibal tiki! See what i mean about the sketchbook? You never know when that chill goes up your spine and your left eye get's a jumpin and you get that flash ,that peek of insight and inspiration...you gotta have the tools at hand to record it or it gets stuck on a post-it note or envelope in the car! Mapping the moods...well I can go from nice kind fellow to crotchety old geezer in 20 minutes flat....it's the cyclothymia I guess...
Anyways, thank you friend! I will always be humbly at your service... :)
GROG,
My muse, unfortunately, IS a monkey...with wings! You know the deal....having a slightly evolved monkey (aka: caveman) for a muse...Better than a stick in the eye,eh?
Hewey!
Thanks man! I'm posting a complete picture of it this post!
Ben,
You sound exactly like the loudest voice in my head...I call him "the Motivator"! I would accept your Double Dog Dare, but I've been having to get my title/pricetag stuff done, plus i had to clean up the artwork for my mug print,and a bunch of other speedbumps....but i did have time to do a wee bit this week. After this parking lot Sale i will accept your Double Dog Dare and make you proud!
WELL! Finally got the batteries for the camera (thanks Honey!) and broke out the easel and shot everything in the studio/garage tonight!
Here are some you've never seen and others you've only seen in crappy shots....
"Warrior"

"Trial by Fire"

no title yet...little paddle

Here is a much better pic of "Portrait of the Islander"

"Night Watch"

"the Meeting House"

"Happy Morning"

"Foggy Morning"

"Chairman"

Here's some watercolors...
"Hei-Tiki"

and one of my Favorites of the Day "the Lonely Cannibal"

and i also did a 16x20 gouache and ink canvas of "the Journey"
in a different style than the others...

and then I photographed an older piece that I'll have at the Sale
and have never gotten the opportunity to share with the TC Ohana...
This one is called "Lair of the Ancient One". It's out in the middle
of the ocean, some say near the edge of the world!

and here are some details of the hut,the cliffs,and the water
to give you a feel for the isolation and the furious wind and waves...
Here's his hut...

Here's the rocky outcroppings, and how he's built his home inside
and outside the island...

Here's his back yard, I guess..

and I'll end this session with some stormy waves!

Ahoy Mateys!
