That Swordfish was sooo tight at that KONA show!
"Dawn of the undead Tiki mug collector" is destined to be a Doug Horne classic

How in the heck did that umbrella survive!?!?
wonderful,like i said before....
Boy done nailed it!

The cover..
you and i both (and everybody else)
know it's awesome!
the thrust of the composition
the colors
the Mary Blair/animation background look of those volcanoes on the right
and the wisp of smoke lolling up gently into a beautiful composition in its own right...
How the heck did you get that teeny moai in the background on that bamboo stilted platform!?!?!?
Did you ask your fellow Giant friends to help? :)
file that with the red umbrella mystery of that last piece...

Angry monkey is a wonderful snapshot
of a single moment in a frustrated monkey's life
annoying fly!

Favorite
