TeakeyThat would work, except I work for myself. So lying to my boss (me) is really difficult. He's such a bastard! I'm one of the owners of Tiki Shark Hawaii. Check out the cool little web site I put together. MANY tikis on it. http://www.tikishark.com

Thank you soooooo much. I'm trying to make each one better than the one before, thanks for noticing!
PaipoThe Cthulhu mug. Yes, I totally get what your saying. There are a lot of regular Tikis in the painting already. What I was considering was that this mug may be made into a REAL mug. And I was thinking if a Cthulhu mug would sell through Tiki Farm. But, you know, you're not supposed to "over think" art. So, er... now I don't know what to do. Maybe, yes, maybe the squidyfaced Kona-Loa Chtuhlu mug. (You could get a mug and a poster of this print together maybe.) Uh Oh I'm thinking too much again.
Jentiki
Thanks! Now they are fantastic flowers rendered in fantastic plastic paint.
HeweyWhat? Oh, yeah! Back to the canvas!

Glad you dig the contrasting colors. I'm kinda happy with them. It sorta resembled some stuff I've seen Robert Williams ( the father of Low Brow Art) do. Except, of course, he's WAY better.


The whole Tiki # 12

The Tiki Lounge. Yes, I try to make art that is pretty. PRETTY WEIRD!

Hey! There is an "Ironman" race being held in Kona today. Thousands of tourists from all over the world are here. The "sleepy little fishing village" (as the Hawaii guide books call Kailua-Kona) has swelled with an additional 25 thousand people! It's crazy! It's sort of like "tour de' Kona" or the Konolympics or something! The race started at 6 this morning and ends at 12 midnight. Some friends of mine have vollenteered to be "catchers" at the finish line for the 6PM to midnight slot. They said it's intense. Some people can't stop running, others collaspe. Many, suddenly loose control of all body functions, (Puking and er.. other stuff!!!!! Kinda like a south park episode!) We may amble down at about 10PM or so and watch the finish.

Hey, if you go to http://www.ironman.com and scroll down to the live feed, you can see the announcers at the Kona pier. In the BG is the heiau that is sitting behind the Kamehameha Hotel. It's a great reconstruction with lots of swanky tikis, and one of the greatest "tiki tourist" sites in Kona. "Check it out Brah!"

After, a good day ofpainting of course!

Mahalo and Aloha!
