Drive-By Art Posting!
Thanks Mark!
wow! and i thought the Wooden/Tiki/Surfborg was big! That was ...until i started on this 9 foot 5 inch monstrosity!
Finally, a Board both you and Doug Horne could Hang some Ten on! As per your desire, I started on one of the portholes...the middle one...just to see how it would look before going back to the wooden stuff around the rest of it!
BigToe-We aims to please! What's a Surfbeat show without a couple of Showcase pieces? We got a VIP preview? When?
Sam-I can't thank you enough! Myself and all us TC artists really appreciate the amount and quality you put into creating and sharing all of your awesome creations! That Cyclops smoking jacket piece you unleashed recently is SPOT-ON!
You have such a sense of color and form and retro imagery!
Mix that with immense talent and a disciplined work ethic and BAM!
21st century masterworks!
Thanks for the Inspiration!
As for when i know when to stop.....it's touch and go!
Usually I'll just know...but then, I'll look at it hanging on a gallery wall,and realize I missed a spot
and bust out that area the day before the opening...
I'm stoked that it's coming to life too! Makes it all worth it!
finished the top left NOMNOM guy....

and wait! what's that on the bottom of the pic?
Can it be? Yes it is...
Here's the part of the piece that screams "SURFBEAT"!
the middle porthole....

I used a slightly different "look" and softer outlines to throw it into the distance.....
And what a Happy Sun! I think he's the offspring of the Raisin Bran Sun fellow!

That's it til next week.....where i tackle a waterfall and a VOLCANO!
Laterz....
