Ho!Ho!Ho! Kiddies!
Sorry about bailing for awhile
it's not like i haven't been busy or anything...
I have 2 drawings(big 'uns) and a painting but
won't be able to share them until the dust settles
and then I'll probably have even more for ya!
so it's a win-win....
plus, i don't see YOU guys helping me paint and scan and post
and write,so sorry for the inconvenience! :)
(except scanning,the Toe helps with that!)
BUT i do have one drawing to post and a funny picture
so...........................

tygerjymmAY!
thanks for visitin,my friend! We need to hang soon..
Artjam at the Batcave in Orange?
Been gettin a lot of mileage outta that squirrel picture...
time for a new one,man! try google images....

GROG!
Thanks again for planning and organizing the Tiki Wonderland3 Tonga Hut show!
I'm glad that you're doing so much for the community BESIDES ARTWORK!
Menu Illustration would be a Blast!
the art and design skillz would gel together for that one...
I feel the gravitational pull towards that half-written Children's Book this year!

sasquatch-thanks! Being an amateur cryptozoologist,I thought there were only bunyips around your parts... Could you send me some photos...maybe some plaster footmolds?

Sneakers-Thank you my artistic pal! there's a seed planted about the whole fabric print thing,that needs to be nurtured for the new year...Stay tuned Master Sneak! I'll have to do a step-by-step on those abstract/stained glass style pieces soon.....
No eyecheck required...maybe a MINDCHECK,tho! :lol:

Duddy-Mahalo! Going back to the cryptozoology theme-have ye seen that Wendigo around your parts?

Sleestak-Gracias! the style doesn't RIP half as hard as your sideburns man!
I keep thinking of that Tiki mag Anniversary show piece you did where you tatted up that latex.....it haunts me

Robb-Thanks for being the steadfast bastion of tiki and velvet awesomness in Ohio! Stoked you and yours read the article...It helps to give some insight into the whole tamale...Can't wait to read your article in the future!

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooodddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd!
Miss you man!
When you gonna send me that frontal view of the awning?
make it happen baby!
Kisses to Rita and monkey!
and a big hug to you!
lots of great stuff at your shop recently! :)

Ben/LOL
Thanks chums!
like i said before....the only way these are gonna get done in stained glass
is if i can get one of those NICE commissions,like Chagall,or Matisse
and be able to translate it properly...But it's always been a dream to have a studio with a big stained glass on one wall...
LOL-glad to hear your pieces made it safe.Thanks for framing em up and displaying em on your wall all fancy-like!
Ben-gonna do some paintings like this (2x3) a bit bigger
so we'll see where that goes.....

ravers-YAY! your computer's back! Thanks for diggin my wiggins! :)

Matt-Mahalos Mr. SanDiego!Art is meant to be explored and our job is to take what we do and let it grow and evolve and mix with our older styles into one UBER style...Follow it to its limit...Sometimes i get locked into a certain style for a while,and then the other ones creep in ,and before you know it....evolution!
we are ART-O
A-R-T-O!
(sing it like the Devo theme)

Toe-Ripple? Mo' like Night Train!

Well Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you all!
Stop and feel the love this Season...it's there!
