That ol left eye started jumping and my hand began twitching,cause the fever had come again! I will show you the result of that manic two-day episode shortly... but first,let's chat..... TikiRacer-Thanks man! I have your prints up in places of honor about the studio! i was glad you and TikiChris and Chongolio were able to hang out and artjam! Glad you're getting the paint fever! true talent like yours shouldn't remain dormant! Babs! werd... Saint Surveillance,and many others to follow are 14x14" with 2" sides museum stretched...all the mandalas are that size,as well as the Chief's Dream....i got 2 boxes of a dozen canvases at Art Supply Warehouse for $30 apiece! That's a lil over $2 a canvas! :) Love that sheeit.... Your wish is my command and i did start a thread of the Tiki Sci-Fi Vibe Sheets....i have a LOT,so i'll be posting those every few days or so..... That whole crossing/mixin styles really appeals to my artistic bent...Over the years, i've slipped into about 6-7 different styles (approaches, as i see them) that i use to convey different things in different paintings...the fun part is when they overlap....BAM! Anyways, thanks for the STOKE! now get back to work on that Lapatiki #2! Ravers! Mahalos Gurl! Thank you for letting the paintings take you away and make you think of stuff! And,as you know.... the Tiki Vibe Sheets are in the Hizzy on their very own post! YAY! First piece.... finished Friday.... started Friday..... after i took half the day hanging all the pieces i got back from the 3 kings show,I decided to sit down,put on the History of the Roman Empire in the first century (thanx Netflix!) and began yet another Tiki Surf mandala...This time i wanted a night scene in the middle.... So, i sketched it out,applied acrylic washes,then went over that with an indigo paintpen-to bring out the outlines...... Here it is..... Details! Details! and here's a close-up of the tropical night... Next off, is a tiki painting i never posted 'cause i hated it! Well, on Friday i painted over it! Never photographed it ....nuthin! Lost to the Ages! Good Riddance! Anyways.... I decided to try a Tiki modern Style on this piece... If it didn't work out, i could always paint over THAT one too! :) so, here's the intitial background shapes.... Then, in a reverse engineering feat, i did a sketchbook study to figure out what i wanted in that tha-yah artpiece! Here's where it's going.... Very simple,kinda like the prints i used to do at HIC...... Now onto the MEAT and POTATOES! the elusive 7-FOOT SURFBOARD! Well, the past few weeks were a blur of slow tedious cleaning and sanding and fiberglass repair kitting and burning my fingers and sanding and more fiberglass repair kitting and more sanding and cutting my finger on a fiberglass shard and getting over the fiberglass repair kitting and sanding and finally aplying the first layer of acrylic.... the basecoat.... This is where our story should begin.... I knew it was gonna have 3 "portholes" just wasn't positive what would be going around em yet..... Here's a close-up... i mixed the burnt umber with olive and turq... Like those Checkers? Radical! by the way, it was my landlord who donated this board... It was abandoned and neglected behind the nanner tree plant... it's been thru a lot,and has a good "aura" to it,if you're into that... While it was drying,i did studies for how it should turn out..... This is the starting point study...... First thing i did was sketch out the design with a tan water soluble crayon.... After that I added black toi the umber and started on the shadows... and then grabbed a red water-soluble crayon and added that.... Excuse the glare.....That's the worse part of working with this under a double fluorescent... You gotta shift your body to block the hilights or just paint into the light, the great unknown... Painting blindly into the glare....pity me! Next i mixed some naples yellow acrylic and began to do the hilights coming from the "portholes" but strongest from the middle,biggest one..... This is for the BigToe curated Surf Show on March 15th at the Light Gallery,by the way..... Next, i added the "eyes" ....lotsa eyes! and that's when i looked outside,and realized that we were under a CHEMICAL ATTACK! It stung my eyes to look up at it...i suspect this is because the pathogens they're dropping on us require a petroleum "shell" that evaporates and protects the pathogen as it drifts downward..... Poisoning us poor Useless Eaters and....Sorry! I got a Conspiracy/End Times group Show in April..... Just practicing my rants! Chemtrail-laden skies only increase my determination to make this the Baddest 7-Foot Surfboard ever! That'll Shake the Corridors of Power! Over and Out!

Art Spurt!

so, here's the intitial background shapes....

Then, in a reverse engineering feat, i did a sketchbook study to figure out

Here's where it's going....

Now onto the MEAT and POTATOES!
the elusive 7-FOOT SURFBOARD!
Well, the past few weeks were a blur of slow tedious cleaning
and sanding
and fiberglass repair kitting
and burning my fingers
and sanding
and more fiberglass repair kitting
and more sanding
and cutting my finger on a fiberglass shard
and getting over the fiberglass repair kitting
and sanding
and finally aplying the first layer of acrylic....
the basecoat....
This is where our story should begin....
I knew it was gonna have 3 "portholes"
just wasn't positive what would be going around em yet.....

Here's a close-up...
i mixed the burnt umber with olive and turq...

Like those Checkers? Radical!
by the way, it was my landlord who donated this board...
It was abandoned and neglected behind the nanner tree plant...
