aaaaaaaaaw fergit GROG!
he's just frustrated and lazy....
Thanks for pickin up on the Happy vibe of these pieces....
they were really fun to do!
Maybe I'll draw some more this week at the studio...
it's just that the paintings get jealous of the drawings
and i have to talk both parties down....
Well, as i explained earlier....
I'm working on figgering out some of the characters for the TIKI ISLAND LANDS ON PLANET ROOTH concept for the TIKI MAG show!
these are all gleaned from my sketchbook so a lot of em are very rough....
Hopefully, this will give you some insight into how one of them crazy paintings is a Born!

robot/tiki sketches

i figured Planet Rooth would be populated by creatures that evolved from Tropical plants...
so the Bird of Paradise natives were a shoe-in!

then i just started looking at tropical plants and imagining how they would evolve....

i tried to mix some Polynesian Design/Art motifs into the mix to Tiki-fy it....

Here's some more...
the one on the bottom left is loosely based on a certain orchid....
man! Earth has weird enough plants and Wonders!

no planet would be complete without a mobile cannibalistic Hibiscus! :lol:

Here's an alien tree with a Hei-Tiki-ish lizard hunting for food...

and here's a landscape with a spooky fang-toothed tree!

That's it for today....
Back to thinkin.....
