Actually got to take brad parker/tikishark to the Juxtapoz art show in Laguna Beach

some days i just feel like packing it all in and becoming a real boy....
until i see how you all enjoy the work....
that makes me smile..

Lake surfer-great seeing you too!
Seeing those oarsmen and the other pieces you carved

We'll set aside a big chunk of time to play with clay before the Closing...
You,Sir,are da Man!

That remorseful cannibal DID eat his best friend! :lol:
very astute you are!
TIKI KAIMUKI-it's mostly sadness....
probably because the hunger had been satiated..
Clarita-I used to add a lot of things to "dimensionalize paintings back when i started painted...
old toys,plants,scraps,etc. to build up a texture...
the mirror idea for the stars is a great idea!
Stay tuned....your idea deserves some mulling over!
thanks smiley!
In fact,Mahalos to all of you for visiting...
it's like having my friends over!

Welpers, finally got 2 whole blocks of Arches Watercolor paper
and just went off on some drawings!
here they is!
"study of a Manaia frieze" New Zealand
ink,bleach and sharpie on watercolor paper
Man! this one took a Looooong time to draw!
"study of an Asmat Canoe Prow"PNG
ink and bleach on watercolor paper
"Motherhood"
study of wooden Lake Sentani figure
ink,bleach and colored pencil on watercolor paper
'Been drawn to the Lake Sentani area (PNG) these past weeks..
the pleasing eyes ,the smiles :) ,and the simple abstraction of the face,silhouette,and limbs
achieve more than a lot of artists today can with more capable tools...
the secret's in the simplicity i guess...
here's one inspired by a tapa mask from New Britain,Witu Islands
"the Vision"
ink,bleach and colored pencil on watercolor paper
after all those exhaustive studies
i thought it would be fun just to go OFF a bit....
"the Hurried Servant"
ink and bleach on watercolor paper
Run! Run!
"the Inner Urges"
ink and bleach on watercolor paper
the struggle between mind and body
a universal theme drawn in a funny way. :)
"Masked Dancer"
ink and colored pencil on watercolor paper
this one may be going to Mr. Hamel
if he likes it!
and lastly.....
seeing how you all enjoyed the "Remorseful Cannibal"
i thought I'd bang out another cannibal piece....
"the Tasty Morsel"
ink and colored pencil on watercolor paper
YUMYUM! :)
well, that's it for now
What a great week full of TC Ohana and Great Art and Artists!
truly blessed i feel!
