Hello Kids!
Just a little bit i can share this week
but don't worry...
i can feel an art spazz
right over the horizon.....
Thanks for all your nice comments!
What a joy to be able to share these scribblings with friends!
GROG-yes
it would make a cool tattoo
not MY cup of tea,but it would be fun to see it on someone!
DOUGHORNE!
Thank you!
I try to avoid logos and graphic stuff
unless the project is compelling
or it's someone that's cool
and time permits....
cause I'd rather be doing artartart!
While i still got the mic...
YOU Mr. Giantman

Monkeyman!
Thanks for all dose panels,Derek!
I gave Toe two for Christmas
but he prefers to paint on car doors i heared...
as for the feathers.... nevermind.
ruffles have ridges...
Spermy-
Gracias!
it means "the Life Aloha"
Lennie's had that name in mind for a loooong time...
Mango!
Mahalos Man!
Back in the Day- doing tees for rusty and HIC
we would mimic a lot of art styles...
That's where the Art History knowledge came in
and it got reeeal fun...
Well anyways, Lennie was always drawn to the calaca's/calaveras of Posada
so you can see how this became a
"let's try to nail posada but keep it kinny" kind of challenge..
i did have some practice
with this one...
when Hank asked me to do the Invitation art for the TIKOT show...
so after getting my balance
i was able to tackle and develop the Vida Aloha Girl...
la-la-loooove her hipbones holding up the skirt
tried to give it a mix
of the naivete' of Posada's anatomy
yet also making it more correct anatomically
but not ruining the original flavor....
Does that make sense?
Anyways....
All of you!
Get out of my Brain!
it's time to show you some new work....
First piece,,,
"Waterfall and Palms"
acrylic and acrylic cel vinyl paint on 3/4"masonite panel lovingly cut by Monkeyman
This is for my bosses for Christmas
they likes Palm Trees..
:)
Closeup!
this one begged for a quiet rhythmic simplicity...
i really like it...it's calming....
It's cool that it's starting to come to life...
And here's a piece where one can feel
new little legs
new little outgrowths
of a developing style..
kind of exciting..
Here's what i got so far
still a long way to go
but there's something
mysterious and compelling
like a secret or an artifact
waiting to be unearthed....
Haven't felt the spider sense tingling like that
in a while
and it's fun!
Well, that's it!
I'll get nothing done at the studio
if i just sit around and type all night!
Laters!
