ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
First off....

Thanks for the very funny package and the yummy yummy sushi!
tiki beat by marcus thorn ~ Thanks so much! boy, nice to hear that when first thing in the morning you look at the canvas and wonder if you did good work last night on it, or just made a bigger mess.
Badd Tiki ~ Thanks! Originally I wanted to create the web site interface with no words and only objects on the beach. You'd have to click and explore the beach to find out what's on the web site. But, my partners said it was too confusing, and would take too long, for clients to figure out.
hewey ~ Cool! Yeah dig the original surfers!
Iokona Ki'i ~ La Luz was a ton of fun, sorry to have missed you too. I love the island, but it seems the heart of the tiki art scene is the west coast right now. there's some amazing art (tiki and non tiki) in that show at La Luz.
So, this part is about structure. The weird perspective of the cartoon city, the shape of the hand and fingers .... have not even really started on the real structure of the car... THAT'S gonna be a big project all by itself and a real challenge since I'm not a very good technical illustrator. Anyways... da hand...

Working out the shape. Guess you can tell I'm a fan/student of Brune Hogarth.

Lots more to go...

Aloha!
