Ken, there should be a giant Tiki bar dedicated just to your work.
I showed my wife your pics and she loves them too. "Feast Day" is the bomb!
Thank you mp! That would be a cool project!Plus it would help me clear
some wall space in the studio! Post-events SUCK because i always do much more than wall
space allows,so even when i have a good show,there's still a bunch of pieces that need to be squeezed up onto a wall.....kinda like TETRIS!
Tell your wife "Mahalos" for enjoying the pieces!
and i do believe "Feast day" survived the onslaught of consumers,so if'n you want it....

I hate to say this cuz I think yer a complete jackass but I know how much you like havin' smoke blown up your butt*, so:
Damn your art is cool.
The flow and energy in your pieces is excellent. Lively, with a feeling of movement. I can hear music when I look at them and imagine them coming to life when the Tiki bar is closed.
I too would love to see a bar that you designed all the elements of. I think it'd rival the Enchanted Tiki Room.
I'm also especially impressed with is how the majority of the pieces don't look rushed or created as quickly as they apparently are. (You don't have some sorta time stopping device that lets you continue working wile the resta the world is froze? Like in The Fermata?)
Your confidence of line, original vision, and creative uses of non traditional materials should be a source of inspiration for anyone hoping to create great Tiki art.
Thank YOU Woofmutt!
make sure if you're blowing smoke
that it's the right kind....:)
Hearing this all from one of TC's resident brainiacs makes me swell with Happy!
I hope others are taken away as well,transported to SUPERHAPPYFUNLAND
or wherever they go when overjoyed...
Dunno if a psychotic man-child designed Tiki Room would rival the ETR...
maybe for acid-casualties...
no time-stopping device,it's all about discipline and just lovin art
and being curious enough to always scratch a little bit deeper...
I think the consistency just comes from doing it ALOT EVERYDAY if i can
I get about 5-7 "duds" per 100 pieces,and they're usually detected 1/4 of the way in...
Thanks again for all the thought-provocation throughout TC...
I hope to meet you someday
only for an hour so we don't get on each other's nerves! :lol:
Iokona Ki'i-YOU and Claudette be on Fiyah! you two are like an art power-couple!
Stoked to be amongst such talent....Thanks for adopting Happy Day! You deserve ALL HAPPY DAYS!
Keep up the awesome velvets-no learning curve for you,just BAM! Masterpiece!

Wow Ken - I can't wait to see Cannibal Village assembled. I love the details like spears and rope stuck in eye sockets! Is it kind of an anti-war statement - it sure looks like it.
Robb-Sory my friend,but the lovely Claudette and Jason spirited the "Happy Day" away!
As you wish-the cannibal village is assembled! Anti-War statement?
i was going for an "End Hunger" statement! :lol:
Well, my friends,that's it for now....
this next month i'll be taking a mini-hiatus from posting
as I'll be working on a couple of SECRET projects and Collaborations
I'll post extra work,but the output you all see
will be smaller than you've come to expect...
not that i'm slacking,but merely keeping secret projects secret....
If you got the LLT jones,check out the latest issue of Tiki magazine.
I dun made a crossword puzzle!
I bet you'll get ALL the answers except 1 or 2 of em!
tell me whatcha think!
Goodnight kids!
