ZIP-YIP-YIPPEE!
i gotta come clean folks....
All these abstract Moderne pieces
were actually made by my LLT 2000 personal art robot....
I'll shut him down after the m Modern show and download some
ore Art and History files while he's in upgrade....
BUT....seeing as you all enjoy them so much....
We'll keep em coming!
GROG:
Thanks again! I know you KNOW art inside and out
and can run rings around anyone on TC...
So I'm glad you feel the work has taken a good turn....
throughout painting,you learn many styles and ways of communicating
this abstraction work kinda combines a few of these in a different way...
Plus i think watching all those Artist's DVDs on netflix at the studio has helped
Klee-Miro-Thomas Hart Benton-Frazetta-Chuck jones-Francis bacon-Picasso-Rodin
and most recently Chagall.......
so many great artists out there..
what a testament to the Human Brain and that Divine Spark in everyone!
I feel like there has always been "tastes" of abstraction
even in the early sketchbooks with hundreds of figures drawn from a single line,,,
A lotta that helped me figure out movement and lightness and flow...
same with the Surfwear stuff....allowing me to research art styles on the Companie's dime
and translate it all into a tee or a boardshort or woven shirt....
Tiki Shark-
Thanks my friend!
Sorry about my verbiosity....brain can't stop!
even now-i wanna do a series of those oarsmen.....
love chattin with you and Chongo every once in a while...
I guess the posts are just as blabby! :lol:
Night Rowers hit it...a fave...
bummed it sold so fast.....
but it will be in Bifachu's beautiful Tikified Home
amongst the Masters already hanging on his wall!
Ravers! Mahalos!
Peter bagge's "Hate" comix are a HOOT!
Figgered you and GROG were onto that
being animators and all.....
TikiRacer-Belt Fed! :lol:
Cheers right back atcha with the Huge Puffer paintings!
Love that so many narratives are springing up with all the artists!
it's settled...I will do a few more canoes-just to get em out my system....
maybe a 2x4 foot one for the m Moderne show? hmmmmmmmmm..
hewey-:smile: you're the best....
i think I've been sitting on that lovely PNG legends book you sent me
for too freakin long.....
the paintings in that are very abstract, but it never hit me...
DOI_YOY_YOY! until recently!
I'll read over my favorites and go for it..
come to think about it-this may be the way to tackle those American Folk Tales I've been thinking about...Or maybe a MODERNE study of Blake's "Vision of the Last Judgement"!
rugbymatt-thank you.You MAY see some Ken work there....
I met Tiki-Kiliki at the Surfbeat and she mentioned them doing an Art Show for the final Hukilau...
That's the last i heard...Does anyone have any scuttlebutt on dat?
Well...back to work! Thanks for filling my day with enough motivation
to kick out a few more during my studio-time....
then it's pricetags/screws and wires/doublestick tape and stress all next week...
but that's NEXT WEEK! :)
