Hi kids!
lots of progress yesterday and this morning! and i still have most of the day today to do some mo!
But first....a confession....
I've been lying to you folks ....
Out of curiosity i measured the board to get an accurate size...
and it's not 7 feet! It's actually 9 feet 5 inches or so.....
Sorry for that misinformation...
Now Clysdalle's board is gonna look reeeeal PUNY at the show...
like a wittle bitty baby board! :lol:
Bring some diapers on the 15th for Clysdalle's baby boogie "board"...
:lol:
Well, enough of the Board battle, let's see what else is going on.....
Ben!Can't wait to see your 10 foot monstrosities at the show!
Size matters! :lol:
I think I'll shoot TK an e-mail for the show.I think he'd dig it too!
I pass his shop when i go to and from work in Laguna....Looks like both sides are already filled with murals...:(
harro-Mahalo! Yeah...it's so much better to recycle a board with all its dings and "personality" and stories.....the new ones are too smooth! It should be finished in about a week-maybe 2 if problems arise.....
ravers-thanks m'dear! Just did some more on the nomnom guys..scroll down!
Meheadhunter-I'll be adding some other flowers to liven it up here and there....i usually wait til it's almost done-then paint em in the areas that need some butterin up! The "portholes are gonna have some nice tropical bright scenes to liven things up a bit as well!Thank you!
Toe! Thanks for creating a Surfbeat show to put this in!Charlie Dont Surf on a 9 foot board! They're surfing on Clysdalle's Baby Boogie board! :lol:
Well, enough of the good-natured ribaldry!!!
Let's see some Progress Shots!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the very top...got some of that done...
and the white in the "portholes" is gesso...in preparation for the landscapes I'll be puttin in there!


The above porthole will have a volcano scene.....
Under that, are the two little guys holding up a happy shield face....

NOMNOMNOM....

closeup of the lighting on the shield face fellow...

Below them will be the main porthole scene with a tropical island and some surf-cause this is a surf show....
Below that are two argumentative menehune thugs,bickering about
the price of poi or somethin!

There's aboout 15 tiki faces,hidden or otherwise in this piece so far....

"we gotta build a WHAT? Tonight? For just a MEAL?"
:lol:

and here's the bottom porthole where I'll be doing a tropical waterfall scene...

more little Islander NOMNOM guys!

He's gonna GET ya!

NOMNOMNOM!

and here's some details of the "frames" of the "Portholes"




That's it! Gotta get back to the Grindstone!
HIHO!
