LLTThanks! Yeah, the mug is getting there. It's amazing how much enjoyment I get out of painting a tropical drink - almost as much as drinking one.

Glad you dig the tattoo. If anyone's wondering it's taken from an actual tattoo design. Prints! I felt this was a very personal piece, that only I was into. (I mean how many folks are into Bela Lugosi and zombies and tiki bars all at once?) But, now that you mention it, it could become a print. I still have not gotten my last piece created as a print. I was discussing this with my printer. I wanted a less expensive print. His prices would still make them around $40 to $50 bucks. He makes artsy fartzy Giclees. So, I know the colors would be exact, and it'd be on nice paper, but is that too much? What do you all think?
It would be cool to have this one available as a print in time for "Voodoo Zombie Island". Must be some kinda cool hook up to be made there. Any ideas?
JentikiHa, well, I'm glad you're still hanging in there and watching. This has been a really long haul. I could blame my super busy day job, and guests staying in my studio, and taking care of an elderly person, and me being a perfectionist. But, instead I'm gonna blame the VOG!

Thanks so much. I figured if I took this long on it already, might as well just focus on making it as good as I can, and damn the amount of time it takes. I do have a art show coming up in Sept, but I'm sure it'll be done by then. Maybe. :)


Here's more drink details that were done last night.

Mahalo!
