Aloha All...

I thought it might be of interest to those friends and Ohana here that follow my current Tiki work to see a glimpse of the career that lead to my art now. I was, as most of you know, a Director and Sr. Concept Designer for Walt Disney Imagineering. As an Imagineer, I painted and drew and sculpted and pitched ideas for new rides and attractions endlessly until embarking on this new venture as a published painter in Hawaii.

I also did this for Universal Studios MCA and numerous other themed Entertainment Companies earlier in my career. This site asked to do a tribute on my contribution to Disney Seas, in Japan. This is about the art and concept development for Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hope it's enjoyable... If you read part ONE in the series on this site on Tom Thordarson, it covers Tiki stuff. All I do is paint like a mad man nowadays!! I am still young..so I imagine I have a few thousand paintings to go before my time is up!! lol Site is:
