well hello good ohana!

i've been too busy for too long- working on my tattoo/art studio ELECTRIC TIKI. tough timing and low budgets have made for a long winter and spring, but things are coming around. i'll create a thread for the shop so anyone interested can check it out- the website's hardly up, but keep an eye on it for updates. http://www.electrictiki.net it's also at http://www.myspace.com/electrictikiart which also is in need of updates.

well, i haven't done much in the way of tiki art over the past year- these four paintings i did at the end of the winter. i have 2 more sketched and need to start painting them now if they're ro be ready for hukilau- if i can still get a space/booth. i'v put everything off for too long and am waiting to see what the situation is for that. just sent BK an email yesterday, if he's still running the vendor show. i'm such a procrastinator- very busy yes, but still about 10% lazy. or is it wiped out? maybe i should go with that.

well, here's some pics to start things off- see if i can't get back on this beast and ride a bit before falling off again.

these four are each 5x7 acrylic inks and paints.




those are in cronological order, the first with my intentions of producing some one-day pieces. each progressed in technique and time. oh well. so much for quickies. here's the few pre-shots i took.



here's the two new ones-need to get them started quick! it's the hardest part for me. just a matter of cleaning off the drawing table here at work and setting up -then just throw some paint down; the rest just falls into place. i'm so lazy.


mahalo all for looking! now for the carving thread.
