ART DUMP!
BUT FIRST SOME THANKIES!
ravers!-thank ye! I did some more abstract/tiki modernism work (see below!)
it's really been prickling the DESIGN side of my brain!
BABS!-great seeing YOU last week! It was great to watch you work and observe your thought process!
Makes me wanna attend the next CHOP! :)
Sam-Mahalos! Thought all my artist friends would like to see a half-finished piece....YOU understand the time and thought that goes into each piece....Would love to see a step-by-step or even some progress shots of a Gambino painting being produced! I imagine you're so fast that the shutter just captures it finished! :lol:
the mustache guy went on a hiatus ....
last i heard he was heading to Easter Island! :lol:(see below)
Brad! That's how the Tikis are born!
they explode in a haze of sawdust dandruff and latch onto the canvas!
Weirdest thing.....
raves....just talked to you! I gotta make this awful photo disappear!
I need a more flattering one.....
Benz! it DOES hurt when they explode out! Turned my hair blond! :lol:
I hope they pick ya for the SWAP piece...
then again,,I'm hoping for a Benz pendant...
Good Luck!
Fingers crossed!
Thank you!
