Alooooooooooohaw Kids!
FINALLY got those new drawings scanned up!
Thanks BigToe! :)
leleliz-Thank you for all the niceties!
babalu did a great job on the Toe portrait at the jam!
wait til you see the other one he's still working on! :)
haven't touched the Above/Below piece for days!
got sidetracked...
the "interesting" frame is a Bamboo Ben concoction
using some leftovers from the Luau construction!
Booben is the original Eco-recycle Man!

Duddly!
Mahalo brother!
Just got a NICE scan of the Homecoming fer ya!
scroll down and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Bowana-you ARE so in! You have to WEAR it the whole day...
But you save the 50 cent cover charge...

well,i shouldn't blabber with so much to share....

"the Homecoming"
14x20"
ink/tissue paper stain/colored pencil/gold paintpen
(extrafine tip)on Aquarelle watercolor paper
Phew! now that's a friggin Mouthful!

this one is a development of the Solomon island paddle motifs
i had been playing with and letting evolve...
this drawing involves a bird being released by the chief
and the homecoming with the Great Frigate Bird,
kind of a great spirit of the birds...
here's the little guy getting released..

Flipper! flipper! Faster than lightning.....
Dern! Now that's stuck in my head!

here's the fisherman and his helper
attending to their catch before the friggin frigates grab it!

and here's that great spirit of the frigate birds
rising above the ship's prow and presenting himself to the crew.

"the Little Lost Tikis"
14x20"
ink/tissue paper stain/colored pencil/gold sumi ink
on Aquarelle watercolor paper

here's one in that stained glass abstract style
depicting two little tikis desperately running through
the jungle,trying to find their way...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

WE'RE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!

here's a close-up of some jungle leaves and flowers...

"the Unexpected Battle"
14x20"
ink/tissue paper stain/colored pencil/sharpie
on Aquarelle watercolor paper

the premise of this drawing is the chance discovery
of a fight in progress....simple as dat!

the masks were inspired loosely by PNG motifs...

the voyeur....

here's a close-up of the jungle...

here's a detail of the jungle floor....with feets!

and last...my favorite of the week!
Every few pieces,an artist will step back
and say to themselves...
"did i make this?"
and then they'll grin for a loooong time...
This is that piece....
man! the ol' hands suffered from artist cramp
well into the next day....
But if that's what it takes
then that's what it takes! :)

"Night of the Volcano"
14x20"
ink/tissue paper stain/colored pencil
on Aquarelle watercolor paper

the story behind this one ...
Most islands are the result of volcanos...
well, sometimes they blowed-up!
So, the inhabitants must flee
and seek out safer lands...
Nuff said!

here are the frantic paddlers...

here's the prow and a palm tree island

the cause of all the trouble..
the volcano....
and the moon...

One fish
Two fish
Red fish
Blue fish...

Hope you enjoyed your stay!
Thanks for visiting!
:)

and take a gander at what i'm offering up
