Lots to show ya this batch!
A commission that's been sitting for MONTHS
and a couple of drawings!
All for you to peruse and enjoy!
"the Sea Monster"
acrylic and cel animation vinyl on masonite

Let me tell you...
Cel Animation vinyl is the SHIZZLE!
i can dip my brush once and paint a solid line 4 BLOCKS LONG!
It's like enamel without the smell and mess
Easy Cleanup too!
two thumbs up!

This is based on a drawing i did awhile ago..
"the Surprise"

the patron wanted it on masonite sooooo.....
8 months later....

Here's some details of this poor travelers...
i changed them back to the standard Moai
'cause they're so cute!

the great beast's tail...
Decided to give the Sea Monster more movement
to give him a sense of surrounding the moai boys....

AAAAAAA! Dropped me Oar!

a close-up of the sea monster....

And Speaking of Moais...
I just paid and downloaded a copy of
Mr. Teitelbaum's "Big Stone Head" e-book
and Man!
Well worth it!
Only $6.95-that;s the cost of a pack of smokes or a drink in a bar!
More Reading! Less Smoking and Drinking!
and a great read so far!
and soooo many images
and soooo much art
including my boyhood Hero Jack Kirby
and personal heroes Heather Watts and Squids and Gecko and .........etc....
and yours truly has a pair of moai images i there too!
Thanks James!
What a great job!

Got those 2 drawings for the TIKOT-tiki tarot show
all framed up nice
resting on papyrus
under glass
in a shadowbox frame..
classy!
:)

Here's the first version of the flyer for the show..

it may evolve....

"the Ghost Ships"
tissue paper stain,ink,gold ink.water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper

these guys were inspired by these haunting figures on a Fiji/Tongan necklace...
i rendered their eyes and grass skirts in goldso it shimmers when you pass....

"the Stare"
tissue paper stain,ink,sharpie,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper

close-up

Here's a drawing i started a few weeks back at the Chop at HodadHank's..
"the Drum"
tissue paper stain,ink,sharpie,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper

Here's a close-up of the figure on the boat...

Here's the strange underwater creatures...

and a reeeeal close-up of the drum..

Not sure of the narrative on this one..
the stacked figures were inspired by the stacked figures on Hawaiian drums

and here's my favorite drawing of this weekend jag...
"Entrance to the Cannibal's Home"
tissue paper stain,ink,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper

This one was asking for a dense humid jungle
strewn with skulls and bones and strange faces peering out thru the vegetation..

the funnest part of this one was playing with the angles and parts of these stylized skulls..

how's that for a pre-Halloween vibe?
Well, i hope these make you smile and examine and dream!
Have a great one Ohana!
:)

Dinner is Served!
