Aloha Tiki Tirbe!
Tiki Racer ~ Mahalo! Howzit at "the devil's reef?" Hey, found a free download of a reading of William Hope Hodgson's "The Boats of Glen Carrig" - -a ship wreck, Sargasso sea, sea monsters, strange high adventure! Much like H.P. Lovecraft, but not the cosmic nightmare genius, but more swash-buckling adventure. Free podcast, nice reading. find it here: http://hodgecast.blogspot.com/
It was strange working small. Everyone kept telling me to paint bigger - then this La Luz show wanted small...so it was strange. But I think it sure was faster to get a painting done. I like it when the small paintings are all placed together - like a puzzle. But I really liked working at 30" x 24"... and I look forward to going back to that after "Frankie goes to Hawaii"
Postcards - I like this idea, tell me more. You can PM me and let me know prices and details and how you distributed them.
Big Toe ~ Big Thanks! I'm very glad you feel so good about my art, because... I have sketch idea worked up for a up coming painting based on your fink-dragon. So, like I'm glad you don't mind and all... :) !!!!! I'd so dig seeing you in LA!
Tubunga ~ Hey Mr. October! Mahalo! I'd love to see you and Mr. M at da' show! March 5th, 8 PM to 11PM... or we all go over to the Tiki Ti for some rum drinks!
TeaKEY ~ Thanks! Good idea. I like the post card idea. I might know a guy who knows a guy who works at the company that makes all those cards you see at the ABC stores.
However, the big question is, do you think post cards would create a a problem with me also looking to sell the images for more money in an art gallery? I know SHAG can pull off this sort of cross marketing, but I don't remember if Schorr or Williams has ever done it. (not that I think I'm anywhere near the level of Todd Schorr or Robert Williams, but you know... ya' gotta think this stuff out)
Still, the classic "Post card from Hawaii" is like a art genera all to itself, and my art might work there because it is a pop-surrealistic version of Hawaiiana. ABC store vs Art Gallery?
I'm open to all suggestions from the Tiki Tribe here...what to you think?
Here's number four roughed out...
