DRIVE-BY!
raves-can't wait to hear about the trip to GROGwork!
That boy is a genius....
the new piece will always pale on the computer
gotta go see it in person...I'm gonna add some ZING! to it!
harro-Mahalos!
how's Argentina?
are you immersed in the culture?
if you're ever in California,you're welcome to visit the studio
and sift all you want! thank you again for encouraging my mad habit...
This new one is really fun in the sense that, as you're creating a swirl or a vine-it affects
all the rest of the design around it....so you have to take that into account
also while trying to properly abstract a plant/hut/etc.....
keeps Brain Busy....
here's what i got so far....
like i said-when it's done and in person-that's where you get that weird mystic moving vibe...

the main tiki-took elements from Cannibal Island/Polynesian Butterfly/and a few other old pieces of mine...

Main Tiki-look at his Head! :lol:
now remember-this is just the second layer-i seal all the indigo-then work over that
enhancing stuff...this is just to show y'all how easy it is! try it at home!

look at his knees! Silly Knees!

Here's a palm tree-the indigo done-awaiting some green and brown....
very abstract/very flowing.....

Doing the river banks was fun...

these four fellows are in for a Wild Ride! :lol:

top of the meeting hut and a tree branch with vines....
the volcano beckons in the background...

started the other hut too-got the roof done up in case it rains....

and that's it for now!...
"Night Rowers"-one evening of touch-ups and sides
Chinese papercut-pareau-at least 15 more hours...
15x60 vertical totem that i haven't even done studies for!
5 more days....
it's gonna be close!
