No dying in a plane crash, for Pete's sake! Jeeez! Don't forget, if we lost you, we'd cry a bit and all get on with life. If we lost Squid and Doug, there would be weeping and rending of clothes, pandemic grief, a new world order - we would never recover!
I'm surprised ANYBODY would even cry....wouldn't wanna be responsible for a catatonic grief-wave ala DougHorne and Squizz!
well ,the trip was WONDERFUL!
Thanks to TikiJoe'sPop and family for sponsoring us three..
and the good people of Seattle who allowed us to wander amongst them for 5 days.....

mp-thanks for perusing,my friend!
And quit apologizing about that painting
when it's done it's done....
you do realize that you wasted around 10 minutes with all those apologies...
10 minutes you could have used to FINISH that painting.. :lol:
:)
BigToe-looks like you've been creeping around the crypt-like labyrinth that is this thread..
That surfboard was finished around 3 years ago
in 2006
and escorted to his new hut about 2 years ago..
Is this a hint to tackle another surfboard?
it IS about time.....
Clarita!-How funny! We've been friends for 3 years! Rock ON!
Jason- I will make more of these..
This one was painted while you were still in RocketScience College a few year's back!
i promise to tackle a surfboard again soon....
Way to go fancying up the tonga Hut with those luscious velvets of yours!!!!
Alrightio!
New works...
3 new paintings and a new drawing (crappily photographed)
2 Tiki-themed
2 not tiki-themed
Y'see, i got's a one man show next year around April/May
and have to show a Wide Range of Subject matter
that encompasses this 20 year hobby
so expect less Tiki
and other weird stuff to fill in those gaps...
i will try to retain a high caliber of quality on the Tiki works
since there will be less of them...
If you do find yourself Jonesing for more LLT tiki work
there's 151 pages of it RIGHT HERE!
so no whiners,okay?
First off... found a frame for "the cannibal's brunch"
Nice and weathered,plus it picks up the natural and grayish hues
and plays off the cannibal's blue too! :)
here's the one i crappily photographed...Better shot later!
"the Skull Dance"
ink and colored pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper
Something about the PNG shield with the skulls
seems to have grabbed my drawin hand...
This piece has some metallic gold sumi ink in spots
makes it hard as Hannah to shoot...
hello PNG boy!
Here's a happy lil skull laying in the flowers
"Moon,Forest,and Snake"
acrylic/cel animation vinyl/colored pencil on board
with a frame my sister bought me for my birthday!
As you can see in these recent abstract stained glass styled pieces
Experiment is the order of the Day..
This one i played with the depth of the leaves in the trees
AND used a white outline as well as dark shading (colored pencil)
in certain areas to lift certain planes off the surface...
LEAFUS!
more LEAFUS!
SNAKE!
Here's another non-tiki piece
but you may recognize these SEA MONSTERS
as they've been harassing a few of the characters in previous pieces...
"the Hungry Sea Monsters"
acrylic and Cel Animation Vinyl on masonite
This one's goal was to create a choppy ocean
as well as showing a fleeing school of fish
both above and below the water..
dunno if i completely succeeded but
it still turned out funny!! :)
this painting was a lotta fun from both a challenging aspect
a narrative aspect (big fish eat little fish,etc.)
and a textural and depth experimentational approach...
Last piece was YET ANOTHER different approach to the stained glass abstract style...
Damn this curious brain! it can never be happy with just ONE style...
sigh..
Anyways, this painting was interesting and a BLAST
because it started as a VERY ROUGH underpainting...
Then after some layering of some Raw Umber to mold some of the objects
and get a sense of light in a jungle valley undergrowth..
i began the blackline..
traversing into the unknown....
not knowing if this would turn out good
or HORRIBLY AWFUL!
But... fortunately...it turned out pretty cool
with a look SLIGHTLY different from some of the other experiments...
"the Silent Valley"
acrylic and Cal animation vinyl on masonite...
i threw some tapas on the skulls
so it looked like they were carved and then presented to the shield
for some strange ritual or celebration....
Smile for the digital camera...
Christmas is.... RIBS!
Skull in the upper seats of the stadium...
Here's me favorite..
He's got afern growin outta his eye!
Crazy Skullboy!
:lol:
That's it for now,friends...
:)
