Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Thanks Robb, it's nice to see it reproduced all swanky and such too. It's a nicely done mag, heavy stock paper with high gloss pages. It's a give-a-way that will be around Maui until the next issue in Dec.
Here's the latest work on the latest painting...

Some how the glowing lava crack in the rocky beach has metamorphosed into a mystical portal opening in a black sand beach. Which, strangely enough, is also something one might encounter on a midnight stroll here on the Big Island.

I've taken a deliberate course to lighten up this piece. I had a feeling that it was too dark. So, I spent the weekend's hours layering in brighter shades into the misty twilight. I know now, the tiki it self will be brighter and reflecting more of the light at it's feet.

More laters!
