New Guinea Witch Dr. acrylic painting:

Witch Dr. shape-shifts into Toucan in this second painting. Toucans and Flying foxes (a fruit bat) are head hunter totems cuz the fruit they pick is seen as taking a "head trophy" from a tree. The Witch Dr's left eye from the last painting becumz the toucan nostril in this painting, or both paintings can be viewed abstractly.

Here is Toucan again with his buddy from the Tsimshian nation. The totem pole figure has had alot of white paint and details added since my last pic. of this piece.

While I'm doing bird beings fron different mythos I'll update my Griffin piece from the Greek mythology series. The figure has been cleaned up and finished and the hand lettering was added only recently.

I did the clean up on his brother painting "Cyclops" and added a gloss coat to the board/painting to finish it. Sorry about the glare.

I started another piece in this series awhile back but I'm rehashing the background for the fourth time or so. The text/lettering will very likely be redone. These Greek mythological's are all 2' by 2' on masonite.
"Minotaur"

Any comments/feedback appreciated.

I'm off to do some more CREATING not quite TIKI enough art.
