LLT little lost tiki Tiki Socialite Orange,CA-right near the Circle! Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Tue, Jun 19, 2007 8:49 AM Wow! I stay off TC for one evening and this morning it's like all hustle and bustle! Hey Bullet! I saw that the Foggy Morning sold,but didn't know who bought it! Wow! Thank you soooooooo much.Sir!That was a nice way to bring in a Monday!August should be fun and rather interesting...brainpickin's my hobby! I've actually been slowly cranking out your 3x3 footer and will post them sometimes this week! Thank you and Jen for the props on the work! My wife thinks I'm crazy with my Tangata Manu Birdman "Series" or jag,as I call it! Ben:Excuses Excuses... Fergitabootit! Old friends and most other things should always take priority over an art show...it's only art,it's not life! the less people there,the less to have to talk to in 10-15 minute increments! It's like Speed-Dating,but more like Speed-Schmoozing/Catchup! It's funny,some friends I ONLY see at shows,other friends I see everywhere BUT the shows....Would love to have you invade the LLT Cavern of Art and Doom whenever you get time! I've been doing some sketches of the Bamboo Ben Chinese Firework piece and still haven't nailed it yet! You did say one thing that I'd like to clarify... And......the super duper cool thang is that he doesn't copy Well Ben...we ALL copy,My first year or two of serious drawing/painting,I would fill my sketchbook with studies of Durer,Brueghel's,Aztec murals,Japanese Prints,Dore,Blake,Greek Vases,Thai stone rubbings,Indian stupa sculptures etc.,you name it,studying each style,drawing them and then blending them,taking the attributes of each that work well with the flow of my hand.Same with Tikis,I know that there's some Crazy Al,Squid,Ben,influence in there before I even met them!! The whole surf tee scene was also an influence,as well as doing studies from primitive Arts books and old menus and matchbooks...It's weird over the years,how the fine art visual diary and the surf tee visual diary overlap and feed off each other...Well, to close this novel,we all copy and are influenced by each other because that's how we grow and evolve our styles and make them our own...Phew! Sorry! Art Rant,I'm still in "Exhibition Mode"! Hey Jeff(bigtikidude)! No worries man! We went to the trouble to put together an Insect Surfers/Jerry Cole/3 Balls of Fire gig AND we included a Tiki Art Show this Sunday the 24th at Safari Sam's in Hollywood from 5-9...No Excuses! :)
