This medium is a natural for me since my most popular work in the past was with colored pencils on black paper. I like using a classical art technique and style with this lowbrow form of art. I've been a Tiki fanatic since I discovered Sven Kirsten's Book of Tiki in spring of 2002. I never thought seriously of doing Tiki art until my wife suggested it while we were lounging in our Tiki-decorated gazebo listening to Don Tiki and Combustable Edison in the summer of 2007. Her idea was brilliant, and I started immediately. My first painting was finished just a few weeks later. I've dreamed of being an artist my whole life, and have now finally found a genre I deeply care for. [ Edited by: Robb Hamel 2008-03-07 18:41 ] [ Edited by: Robb Hamel 2008-03-08 18:41 ]
