Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Atomic Tiki Punk - Me too, if I can get back to it! Thanks!
MarkusK - Yes, this is the same paper the wood cuts are printed on... so That's ink on that beautiful old weathered rag. I'm glad you are diggin it!
little lost tiki - Thanks! Well, didn't move yet! That's all coming! Yuck!!! What happened is I went to Honolulu on Monday for a hospital visit for a procedure for my chronic lower back problem. Yeah, great! Well!

Weird life moment: So I'm on this flight on Hawaiian Air lines coming into Honolulu at 7:45AM... on December 7th...Pearl Harbor day. The pilot was a real history buff and gave a great play by play as we were coming into the city. Then, they played the 1944 radio announcement from President Roosevelt. Chilling. All this while I'm sitting next to a very nice young tourist couple from Japan. Wow... the world is too strange at times.

WHINE WHINE: Anyways, I get stuck at the Hospital in a overly sub artic air conditioned room in a friggin' hospital smock for an hour and a half... by the time I get in the operating room my teeth are actually chattering! I think... hmmmm, think I'm gonna catch any thing in this place? Yep! Tuesday morinng I woke up with one of the worst colds in my life. Today's been the first day I felt human. Yeesh! Hope you had a better week!

Anyways, enough bitchin, here's some art.

Here's yet another go at the composition ala ink study.

Then, here's another one.

Yes I know I wasn't going to do the Giant tiki grabbing with his hand...but it really looks much better than the hot rod getting stepped on. And, as a good fiend pointed out..."Who wants a painting of a big foot?" Hmmm...good point.
I like it better. It looks more like a old pulp magazine cover. (However that is one of the silliest tikis I've ever drawn on that tiki lounge) So, I think this is going to become the painting..

Big Aloha!
