Aloha TC!
BlowfishThanks! I'm glad you're diggin the mug. I really went back and forth on it. I think it's what I want now. I think. Stay tuned for a more involved sketch.

YEAH, can't wait to be sippin Mai Tais at the Bali-Hai with my tiki art buddy! There has been lots of strange lighting challenges. Which are fun, when you can resolve them and make 'em look appealing on the canvas.
ChongolioIs the Brain freaking you out? Well, if you remember way back to the time I had a cold, and I took too much cold medicene, and I sketched... THATS where this evil brain / bartender idea came from. So, yeah a freaky thing from a freaky (medicine induced) sketch! I wasn't sure if it was too freaky to put into the painting. Then I thought, What am I thinking? It's Tiki Art! Any thing goes! I thought you'd dig the shark in the wave, as your a surfer and all!
Hewey
Mahalo! It's getting there! (But I did have a nightmare last night that I didn't get it finihed in time for the show at the Bali-Hai!)
GrogI worked very hard on that grass! :)
Frostiki
Yeah, that tree is weird! I was gonna do a realistic tree, and then I kinda thought, well the painting has a evil brain in it, how realistic do I have to worry about being?
RavenneThanks, glad u like the lounge!
Work World Woman
!!!!!!!! Hey Aloha! Oh yeah, sorry about that whole inter-dimensional demon accident. Glad it all worked out! Hope to see you at the Bali-Hai, or at least in LA when I'm passing through!
SneakyTiki~I'm very sorry if your depressed, but I'm honored that you are inspired! I think getting inspired by other artist's here on Tiki Central is what drove me on to make Tiki art.

Here's the Whole thang...

Here's a (almost finished) study / sketch of the bartender.

Here's the Bartender so far.

"What's the Bartender's name?"
"Oh, Abby someone."
"Abby someone? Abby who?"
"Abby Normal."

Hey kids, If you'd like to learn more about evil brains in jars, go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/horror Scroll down to the pod cast titled: "Donovans Brain by Suspense", and Orsen Wells will explain it all to you. (Just remember not to tap on the glass. They don't like that!)

Big Mahalo from the Big Island!
