(I think I can, I think I can...) Tiki Fool Your metaphoric note about the "three offers" of a mysterious tropical drink was hysterical, and profound. I keep thinking about it! Thanks for the nice words about my technique, I guess I come from the "Aurora School of Painting". Paipo~ I wish you could too! You're right about the difference of seeing an original. Ya know, I was looking at the current original in comparison to a giclee of number 11. Even though the giclee is really high quality, there's an intensity to an original, the intensity of the paint perhaps? - that is unique. Hewey~ Mahalo! TeyKey~ Wow, thanks so much! Juxtapoz, is something I subscribe to. I some times feel a bit isolated on this tropical island, and it's nice to have Jux as a look see at to what's happening in the low brow art scene. But, I gotta' say, I agree on yer thoughts about Juxtapoz - some of the latest issues of Jux have left me a tad unexcited. Maybe I'm getting old, but a lot of graffiti just looks like bad art to me. I think the best thing in the last issue was the ad for the XNO art work showing this month in Santa Monica. Still, I'd be thrilled to appear in Robert William's mag. He's like the father of the Low Brow Art movement. (Now if you'll just write a nice letter to their editor and let them know your opinion of my work...) :) Here's da whole thang. I started on the wahine. Tricky stuff, this anatomy and foreshortening! Mahalo~ Tiki Shark http://www.myspace.com/Lotus_Land [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2007-10-27 11:49 ]
