I checked my local Borders, but still no new tiki Mag yet. They only have one old copy of the issue with the PIZZ on the cover. The last issue with Doug Horne sold out. Always takes a while for things to make it way out here. So glad it's out in the tiki world! bigbrotiki~ Very exciting! Thanks! Sheesh, makes me wanta see it even more! Mr. Mai Tai Acrylic on canvas 24" x 18" Okay, I worked on it again...last night - a little. Just certain high lights. Now my internal art clock sez it's finally done. Unfortunately, I guess that means the version my printer scanned in yesterday morning... is not the finished version. Sheesh! I'll have to have him print it out on canvas...then, I'll have to paint in the final high lights again, and then have him re-scan it again, so it matches the final final? Next is the packing up the studio, and everything else, and moving to our new digs. That was painting #21. So.... I think it is time for a new cycle. I do have a idea for a whole new theme for the next series - the new year will begin a new art cycle. It's still about tiki culture, but with the addition of some new elements. I think I have taught myself to paint to a certain degree where I feel comfortable to try some more complicated compositions again. I also, have the the very beginnings of an offer for a one-man show later next year (two different locations have shown interest). If it works out, I will let the tiki tribe know well in advance. If you all saw that full page ad I took out in the Doug Horne issue of Tiki Magazine, it talked about a one man show in So Cal... but that didn't happen. I had couple family emergencies, and business considerations, a physical doo hicky (getting old sucks), and well... "life" happened... the tiki gods declared it was not time yet. Now, with the new location, the new idea for a different tiki-mythos cycle, we shall see if next year is going to be the time for a one-man show or not. If the Tiki gods will smile on this endeavor or not. Big aloha from the Big Island!
