Well Hi-de-Ho! :lol:
thanks teaKey....i relly apreshiate your contribushuns....
Thanks also Ben(i guess..) Jen,Brad,and pDiddy!
Well, tag-team has begun! Lonely Island vs the Intergalactic
Island Hopper! This decanter is for the DvA's Tiki Anniversary show in June,I think!
A bunch of us artists were asked to paint these lovely Tiki Farm decanters!
Being a Squid sculpt,how could i refuse?
Here's some old sketches when
the concept/invitation was first extended...

and here's this weekend quickie sketches after the bisque arrived at my doorstep!
I went a little more involved,just so i wouldn't fall asleep of boredom while
painting it! :lol:

and here's some close-ups of the water soluble pencil sketch....

And here's the gold I finished up for this session!
I used a gold sumi ink that has the perfectblend of
resistance/acceptance of the gouache i'm applying to it next!


note the little palm on the bottom,traversing the cosmos and looking
for a place to root and grow...perhaps earth?

and the scary robot orongo mechanism on the back-staring
into space with it's cyclopian eye!

i like how the seated orongos have that Chariots of the Gods/Aztec tomb cover feel!
That's it for now-I should bust out more this week! Thanks for visiting!
