Howdee Howdee!
Thank you soooooo much Clarita and Clysdalle! the Butterfly munchin Cannibal is enjoying his new digs as much as i enjoy just watching him sit there!
well, i put the Journey and the Cannibal Totem on hold for 2 nights because inspiration finally struck and grabbed me by the pantaloons! I have a big 4x3.5 (or something or other)
canvas that i gots for my birthday to do something for the Tiki Magazine art Show in November....I'm gonna be doing a wandering Island/Ship Island,but the time is not ripe yet... So,as i sat and stared at the HUGE canvas smokin a ciggie,it hit me! BAM! like emeril only better! why not do the PNG suspension/spirit hook piece? (the piece i'm referring to is "Arrival"-here it is....)

Anyways, i just splashed some water and ink down,swirling it about,and added a bit of olive and some other colors to delineate the palms and stuff,,,i may add some blueish for the water or i may keep it pink...not sure yet....
Anyways, here's what i got so far...

and a detail shot....

Now for the hard part....what vehicles should i use? seeing as this has a subtle sci-fi/ Chariots of the gods feel, i decided to do some research and look at suspension hooks/staffs/finials,etc. from Pacific cultures and see if they can evoke some type of flying craft...
13-14 pages later,i think i'm finally ready to make a decision...kinda! it's all a matter of picking and choosing...well, anyways,here's the studies i've been working on the past two nights! So many objects can be transformed with just a lil imagination! A lot of the studies are altered to suit the theme more-so purists beware!
What a Blur! I made notes next to each piece for reference and for you my good friends ...
So here they are!














Phew! my hands are tired of typing and drawing! i'm outta here! thanks for poppin by!!!
