Lake!
must be something in that Midwestern water
i'm still tryin to shake off its effects
and that was 27 years ago since i left!
and i'll take that for one vote for the waterfall!
Thanks man!
I say I believe in swordfish! :lol:

Kiki!
Bummer you didn't make it to the CHOP
they're always fun and ya learn and laugh so much!
(and not just at the way buzzy looks! :lol:)
Thanks sooooo much for the nitty gritty feedback..
That swordfish WAS a bit of a departure
plus the fact i fragmented the process by a gap of 2-3 weeks didn't help.
I picked he boldness of style because of 2 things
the bumpy unsmooth textured surface
acrylic with a brush is harder to get fine detail with
like driving over a bumpy road with a paintbrush!
I'm with you-not one of my personal faves,but glad i 'ad a go at it! :)
Got some votes for SeaMonster
(i was thinkin of doin a better version-i want the sea monster to be less terrifying and more tragi-comic)
Jungle ruin (a definite on that!)
Moai King addressing the stone giants
the Waterfall
I was thinkin also meebee
Night of the Volcano
and moai king and eclipse
Those Moais crack me up and practically write themselves
Was thinkin of meebee doing a calendar or somethin with them...
Maybe blank cards
I just need to do 12 real good ones.....
As for the Migration..
i'd probably have to use the drawing for a print
as The frame would interfere with the print
plus the drawings are a scan
while the paintings need a professional to shoot/etc...
The Solomon islands pieces are practically gone as soon as they're done
so that's a good call-glad i got great scans of em all!

as for prints, this time I'm looking for small runs-not too expensive
Nice paper-not necessarily textured,just having some weight to it.
The giclee on canvas was a real expensive pain in the butt
and a lesson learned
The open line of 300 on paper of the TikiFarm mug pages
well...300 is too much for any print!
so i think paper-a lil bit oversized
16x20-runs of 20-25 each(if that)
and hopefully i kin make em affordable!
I'll chat with you at KONA!
Thanks so much to you and all the folks chiming in!
You're gettin my brain all lubed!
