Thanks Jason!
let's get Huell down to a Tiki Art Show!
get him liquored up and hear what he REALLY thinks about things... :)
I have a surfboard that's been awaiting for a while...
about time it became something!

Wendy...you are the sweetest!
i love having everybody and their art all in one place!
Kind of an Artist Colony of sorts....

Babalooooooooooooooo!
You are the MAN!
such range and depth and research
We'll get that platter to you SOON!
next time i can connive Squizz to visit
we'll tie it to the top of his ride!

Tucker's tikis-Mahalo man! That sculpture was a PAIN to paint!
it must've weighed 80-100 pounds! OOMPH!

Here's a New one that will introduce our loose theme of skeletons for this day's gallery entry....
"Late night walk"
Cel vinyl and paintpen on canvas

There's a step-by-step/brief tutorial on this piece
HERE!

here's the sketchbook entry

Here's the original character
this piece was for the TIKOT! Tiki Tarot invitation at the freaky boutiki gallery

the original blackline art

then i added some color and distress to it
"Death"
Sharpie and ink on board
private collection

in fact,here's that Skeletal moai inspired by this piece

Here's the card i got picked to create for the show
"Judgment"
ink,sharpie,and pencil on watercolor paper

but we still need to finish the skeleton theme!

Here's a logo i designed for my friend lennie's clothing line
Keep your eyes peeled for tees,girls!
and Men..What better present for the missus ,eh?

here's another concept that didn't get picked
very inspired by Posada,as you can see...

you never know...this may end up on tees too!
:)

Speaking of tee-shirt designs
Dave's Not Home still has some of these available if you want one!
Cannibal King

Seeing we've wandered from the original subject matter of this week's entry..
let's just share some random stuff i've rediscovered...

Here's a submission for a group show
where the artists painted violins...
i guess they couldn't get over the clash of cultures
it was politely rejected..
:)

so i turned to ROCK AND ROLL!

Also here's some vinyl stickers that have long run out...

and a t-shirt and bag graphic for the
Rell Sunn Menehune Surf Contest

Well that's it for this entry!
have a great day!
:)

Hah!?
