Mahalos Gang for all the LUV and encouragement...
if you only knew how much it keeps me from
setting myself afire...
:lol:
teaKs!
Where you been?
Welcome back stranger!
Glad the new stuff excites ya!
it was exciting to just follow my bliss for a short few days
and to just explore and play and LEARN!

That Solomon Islands Paddle motif
relates the ancestors as spirits guiding the tribe to
the biggest amounts of fish...
Ive always been drawn to the flatness of certain culture's art
there is an innocence and freshness that's hard to capture in contemporary life..
too many distractions..
Would love to see your take on this motif..
especially as a lampshade!
the best part is you could wear it to parties! :lol:

Sneaks!
Wow! you've been out of commission too..
keeping that low-profile style....
Hopefully,this ArtBlast will inspire you
to bust out some more BIG paintings!
we need more Sneakyart!

thanks my friend!
Hope to see you on Saturday!
and you may own an LLT original someday..
but i will always have the Biggest collection! :)
you may be surprised how affordable a lot of the pieces are....

if ANYONE is interested in ANYTHING on this thread
PM me..
I'm very reasonable..
i WANT you guys to have art in your huts...
Most folks see the gallery prices and shriek!
a little secret...
we get charged a 40-60% commission for the
honor of showing our hard work in Their gallery...
which means we got to bump up our prices
just to recover our costs..
most of the time we take a loss..
so cut out the middleman
and buy DIRECT!
i WANT you guys to have art in your huts...
Heaven knows i have Lots of Inventory! :lol:
and remember..
i WANT you guys to have art in your huts...

Robb-yup...that's my little tunnel vision...
sitting on an afghan saddle/pillow for hours on end
art supplies to my right on the shelf
coffee and ashtray nearby
and usually an art documentary playing...
check out the
HOW ART MADE THE WORLD series
(you can get it on Netflix)
shows how the drawn/sculpted image evolved
fascinating....
I agree with Picasso
who....upon viewing the cave paintings at Lascaux said..
"we have learned nothing.."
Seeing the boldness and surety of line of these bison and horses and such..
i would have to agree.....
Keep cookin out those small ones Robb!
That way i can see a new painting every week
and not reruns! :lol:

Ernie-thanks..i guess...

Chongo....I agree with your agreement...
huh?
:lol:
