Aloha Tiki Tribe!
LLT - BIG Thanks Kenny! Mr. Mai Tai was a lot of fun, and has a crazy 30's cartoon energy that was great to play with. It did push me in weird directions that sort of made me learn as I went, but I think I found a few things to help create depth in the paint. I may finally be getting somewhere on my quest for this deep glow folks talk about getting in transparent layers of acrylic paint. Maybe. One man show... maybe. Fingers are crossed!
atomic tiki punk - Thank you! I'm jazzed some of my work will hang in your tiki hut too! You picked two of my personal faves!
Big Toe - Mister Toe, BIG MAHALO! If it wasn't for kind wishes from friends like you I'd never be here painting!
I really liked it when Big Toe posted all his coverage in that way cool hot rod mag, so I'm going to post like dat!

I must complement Nick Camera, editor and publisher of Tiki Magazine. He really listened to my concerns about being able to reproduce my art so it looked good. Above is a side by side comparison of Tiki Magazine and a High End $50 art print. The magazine perfectly reproduced my art. Wow! Even the blues - a notorious color to print right in a mass production- are spot on. Every piece is a perfect representation. Maybe this doesn't sound like a big deal, but for artists, it's a huge deal. You always know a magazine will be off somewhere: The reds, or the yellow, or the blacks... something won't print right. Art is hard to get right. This came out right. Exactly right. I know that Nick spent extra money at the printer to get this right. I'm honored! Big big Mahalo Nick!
Oh holy crap! I just thought of something... I'm not posting this over in the Marketplace, That's for sure! Hey, why spend $100's when you can get perfect reproductions for $4.99 with a copy of Tiki Magazine! (Damn you Nick Camera! You got it too perfect!)
