aloha friends and ohana!
Hippy New Year!
Man! it's hard to get back to work
after a 12 day vacation!
especially when that vacation consisted of
a LOT of studio time... BLUUUUUUUUUUUR!
ZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
anyways,on New Year's day I was graced with a visit by the
infamous Doug Horne and sweetie-pie Stacey! JOY!
I'm the Luckiest boy Alive!
so stoked Doug is a little more local than before! :)
TabooDan-happy new year to you also!
Glad you get so much out of the work...
Thank you for nice thoughts
without you viewers,these characters would be lifeless
scribblings on paper....
please come by and visit often...there's always coffee on! :)
Bowana-that's his brother who lives on mulberry lane...
this guy moved to the gated community of CANDYLAND!
mmmmmmmmm!

Idle hands are the devil's playground! :lol:
hodadhank!-yeah.yeah. i get it!
It's actually on my list of things to start doin studies for...
a new day's dawning
it deserves a new awning! :)

Glad i got to see you two at the forest lawn tiki show!
please refer to brad's comment above.... :)
Jonesy-hello? you okay man?

MDM-Afternoon Boat trip seems to be a new fave....
more pencil strokes than brushstrokes on that one!
i used a black sharpie for the blackline
then colored it in with inks
then layered colored pencil over the colors..
as for the double/ghost image on the journey canvases...
menehunes paint that part while i sleep!
again, mahalos to you all who visit and especially those of you
kind enough to leave some love....
happy new 09!
well, i have a backlog of about 7-8 pieces i have to scan..
i hate scanning! you sit there and CAN'T really do anything else...eh!
Anyways, i will replace these awful pics of the drawings these past few pages with the nice scanned ones ....
when i get the motivation....
Anyways, here's 2 pieces i did on my brand new 18x24 Arches watercolor paper! YAY!
"The Sea Monster" ink and colored pencil on W/C paper
decided to let these moai fellows sail on the high seas..
unfortunately.....
Moai Overboard!
the sail is hidden until you discover it..
then it don't go away...
two of the crew...kind of in shock....
a brave gent with a spear tries to subdue the beast...
tentacles and fish...
the head of the creature..
a mix of octopus and PNGish markings...
the next one is LOOSELY based/inspired by
Matisse's painting/s of the same name-theme...
imagine, if you will, a circle of moais
dancing around a fire in the thick of the jungle...
this one was a real challenge to figure out
all the shadows and angles,etc...
never a dull moment!
"the Dance"
ink and colored pencil on watercolor paper...
LA!
LALA!
LALALA!
LALALALA!
LALALALALA!
LALALALALALA!
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
hope you had as much fun as i had tonight!
LALALA!
:)
