Aloha! Aloha!

a few new ones and Zing!
back to the rabbit hole...
Brad!
"Kooky Pants" love
the kind that really stands out in a crowd!
:)
thick!
Glad Four arm could expand your cranium
it was hard not to become hypnotized while working on those swirls!
and "Shield Skull Tusk Boy" is the working title.
but it is growing on me...
thanks for the visit!
laojia!
Mahalos for your enthusiasm!
Tropical nocturne has a nice feel to it that i will explore further
perhaps on some more Bamboo Ben collaborations!
you never know what the future will bring!
i used to have an Escher blacklight poster of a dragon(Medieval-lookin)
standing on these crystals and biting it's tale...
looked great next to my Stripes poster and 6FOOT KIZZ POSTER!
it was Brueghel,Dali,Jack kirby/marvel Comics,and Escher,always the fascination
of how he tapped a certain mathematic spirituality,that overflowed into
perspective,time,sequence,movement,pattern...
Sky and water,that theme tries to capture the differences in the elements
thru the life that inhabits it
Escher took the long route,
i, unfortunately,was rushed into inspiration and
sometimes lean on simple themes,hoping the art will communicate something deeper.
tobunga!
it was Ben! he's the great inspirer!
it was his creative spark that motivated him to play with these materials
and it was his thoughtfulness to share them and see what happens..
man! now i feel like a total tool for missing his pool party and selfishly painting...:(
i used to find old toys at thrift stores ,take them apart,and reassemble them..
i did a whole series of Armageddon Assault Vehicles and crippled beasts and stuff...
fun! fun!
but,a year of not throwing out stuff and creating art?
How bout i just build a tiki tower out of empty bottles of Zipfizz,
filled with cigarette butts
and mortared together with coffee grounds? :lol:
i have a great book called Fantasy worlds
about all these environments people and artists have created for homes
I'll have to share it with you sometime
it's amazing the variety of execution and brilliance there!
i could see you making a whole world like that as well!
Miss you kids!
