Ben-Ringo was INTO anyone with food that day...

Bravo on the Luau my friend!

Bradley!
Thanks pal!
Would love to see your take on a Tangaroa!

Duddles!
There's a whole world of great tiki/Polynesian art out there!
I'd like to see more of the TC artists tackle some of these genius pieces!
That style is pretty easy..mostly ink and tissue paper base...then ink...then gouache or white pencil for the highlights....

Matt-thanks man!
but you're wrong....
the old stuff is NOT cool....
but you are!
i guess!
:)

well, JonPaul came down for the tikimag photoshoot and final review of the interview questions...
Boy's got a good brain and ear!
Did you know he was raised by artists?
Anyways,the hard-workin fellow covered Squid and meself in the same day!
Talk about marathon interview session!
So now he's gone and i had the opportunity to mess up the studio and get some more work done!
i did three drawings,but those I'll post at the bottom tomorrow...
Anyways....got the "Greeting plaque" done finally! acrylic on wood...

Here's those 3 abstracts i started..
Here's what i had last time..

and here's what happened when i did it....

"the hunting party"
acrylic and paintpen on canvas

Here's the start of this one...

and here's the final.. "Nocturne"
acrylic and paintpen on canvas...

i really like the mood of this one!
so here's some details....

Here's what i started with the third abstract canvas..

and here's what i ended up with...
"Sun and Village"
acrylic and paintpen on canvas...

a little bit happier than the last one...
details!

Then a couple of days ago, i just started sketching a picture on this 20x24 canvas
and before i knew it-had the whole base gouached in...like this!
"the Village Tiki"

then i added some watersoluble pencil for shading and highlights....

here's some details of that...

and then today ,after spray sealing it,i started going over the areas with paintpen
like this!

1 or 2 more sessions and that will be done!

Well, it's monday and here's those 3 drawerins i promised ya!
First off is a piece reflecting on the indigestion-induced dream of a Cannibal and all of his long forgotten
victims and meals....
"the Dream of Past Meals"

the second is another abstract...a study for a bigger piece...
a little funner and brighter than the previous....
"Meeting at the Lake"

and the last is a revision/update of my Happy Hut theme...
