ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
I got six days to finish this painting for the show!
http://www.sargentsfineart.com

Started the grass skirt, and the floating mug. Still considering if I want to go totally pop-culture-reference and put "Alice Cooper" eye make-up on the goth girl. I have Jim Bacchi (Tikiyaki Orchestra) who's worked with Alice on his last album, sending out feelers to his people if they would care (or take legal action) if I did so. Alice lives on Maui, owns Maui Taco and Mala - both restaurants which dot Hawaii. So, Alice is part of pop/Hawaii culture - and I think a possible reference for what this painting is saying. (what ever THAT is)

Here's a close up on the tentacles!
Lots more to finish!
Mahalo!
