Aloha Crew!
Haven't had time to scan in those drawings,but will soon,so hold tight!
this is the week before Ben's Nooner
so time is tight!
After i talk a spell with y'all
we'll get down to lookin at some of those goodies for the Nooner!

Amy,Mahalo for the visit and all, my dear!
Those bowls were really fun to paint!
I sealed em so they could be used as actual bowls for parties and stuff! :)

Jim-Thanks pal!
I like the retro feel of both of em..
I'll get a good scan soon,i promise!
there's a little 3-D effect on it
you gotta see! :)
Great performance at Don's,by the way!

Lake!
Less than a week old chum!
Will be fun AFTER the vending to just chill and be able to relax with all youse arteestos!
Stoked that you caught some inspiration from some of this junk! :)
"explore and create a subject that I was never really into before now."
Very exciting! BRING IT!

mp-Welcome again to TC..
I like the unique approach you've brought to your ceramics! A breathe of fresh air is always welcome here! Thanks for actually poring over all that old stuff..pretty funny moments once-in-a-while!Thank you for the visit and sayin nice stuff! :)

Markusk!
I have my own time machine sir
and i use it liberally!
I'll get a scan of those moai harassed by the sea monster fish for you very soon!It looks better bigger! Thanks for mentioning the work behind the thread....it does get exhausting,but hey!
Why do it and keep it locked in a dusty studio? better to share and inspire!

Iokona Ki'i- hello Jason! hello Claudette! Thank you kind Sir!
I guess we'll see you at the Nooner,too! Should be quite fun!
Down's Syndrome hula Girl!
:lol:
so wrong!
:lol:

Robb!-the loafer! :lol:
puns are great!
I wish black velvet adorned more surfaces so you could paint them!
black velvet RH bowls would be waaaaay kewl!

Clarita!
inspiration is everywhere!
but sometimes you need special glasses!
Squid,dear that he is
acquired an extra pair from a leprechaun!
So guess who got that pair?
:)

Wow! what are all these signs saying OBEY and CONSUME all about? :lol:
(if you never saw THEY LIVE,you need to...)

jpmartdog-thank you for the visit and for lovin the bowls!

Hau'oli Tiki-everyone can create! it's just the practice part that nobody can keep up! All my prices are reasonable,as you will see at the Booben nooner...i like people to own the work,to have it in their homes,and i price it accordingly....Remember,a few of these are a little more top-shelf and will be priced as such,but the majority are DEALS! DEALS! DEALS!

Well, first off....those weren't magical inspiration glasses...they're magnifying/jeweler's lens like the Diamond exchange uses...and Bowana...and Squid..
and others who journey to the realm of detail and miniature!

Plus, they really liven up a wardrobe...
well, it's been a long while since i did a COUNT THE SKULLS piece for funnies...
So, donning my new magical microscopic glasses of magnification, i attempted a Cannibal/Shrunken head Village!

here is a sneak peek before the scan...
here's some teeny tiny details!

the cannibal idol on the hill!

some carnage.....

a big hut...

Bigger hut and Palm tree decoration!

smaller hut..

the big ol' shrunken head in the foreground...

Also did some woodburns for the Nooner....
"Happy Tapa Man"

"Baby and toy"

"Dancing boy"

"Feast day"

"the Jolly fellow"

"PNG Boy"

"PNG Moderne"

"the Singing Shield"

and finally "the Tongue Wagger"

here they all are on the floor of the studio!

Awaiting final QC check/name-pricetags/hanging stuff on the back and final coat of varnish/sealant!
Tough week ahead,but I'll see y'all on Sunday!
Yeeee-HAW!
