Before i answer Ernie's question
I'd like to give a BIG MAHALOS to...
ravers-Thanks gurl! Glad to be able to spread some smiles! :)

MadDogMikey-he white outline is otherworldly like raves says
but i think it's too stark...next time...Naples Yellow!

LOL Tiki-yes! Garden of Eden was the "hint" this piece strived for....

TikiLizard-that piece is 16x24 and on Masonite from our very own Monkeyman!
I'd love to do a huge mural in this style in a Tikibar...How fun would that be?

Sneaks!-Thanks buddy! I see you've been reacquainting with the brush after an oh-too-long-away spell!
Welcome back!

Babalu-I'll keep beating that Art Drum
as long as you keep making the Drums! :)

TabooDan-Mahalo! Glad i could transport you for a while....
In person they REALLY do something weird to your eyes and brain....
seriously! it's kinda skeery! :)

DougHorne-advice taken!
Did i tell you how much that Moon piece at Hank's makes me salivate?
yowza!

Bowana-take an aspirin!

TikiShark-Thanks Man!
I only wish i had the intensity of patience and focus you take on your work..
I get impatient waiting for you to finish that max Fleischer Tiki Guy!

Jason- The white outlines thing with the dark colored pencil shading was a new approach...
and that extreme looseness over the tight outline is something that was just waiting to happen..
a few other piece were kinda loose
BUT this one was REALLLLLLLLY loose
and funner! Thanks for visitin!

On 2009-11-12 12:43, GROG plagiarized a post i put on Clysdalle's thread:
Time to peek outside your comfort-zone
now that you've nailed
and exhausted this so-called "artistic" genre...

:lol:

To hear this from a lazyboy who can barely pull off a single comic strip for Tiki mag every 3 months
(and a handful of mugs....)
Maybe you should veer away from Cavemen/Tiki Bobs,and Moais
and expand your repertoire before it gets stale as well....
perhaps you haven't noticed,Ernie....
But over the past 3-4 years there has been much experimentation with variations in styles
(stained glass abstract/Chinese papercut style/graphic acrylic and paintpen/more cartoon realistic acrylic pieces/tissue paper stain with ink...)
and subject matter
(Cannibal Kings/Cannibal Psychology/Orongo birdmen/Surfboard totems/mandalas/
boats/huts/studies from actual objects/fabric print motifs....)
returning back to unfinished narratives
and a few more un-tiki routes...
I'll pop some of those pieces up here
every once in a while fer ya!

That's it til next time...
may not have time for Tiki this week
as I'm currently reviving an old piece and re-doing one of the characters....
It's titled GREED and was started in the mid-late 90's
as a response to Wall St..
Seemed like a good time to re-examine that....

Thanks for popping by!
Laters y'alls!
huggles....
