Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Atomic Tiki Punk ~ Pulp! I picked up a cool old book in the Kona used book store on PULP ART. Some of it was awful - you can just tell the artist was rushing towards a deadline with no big payday, but, some of the rest was really amazing! Images above and beyond the 25 cents price on the cover!
zerostreet ~ thanks. I'm still working out all the shapes and lighting...and then it will need to look like stone!
Worked out the weird cartoon perspective!
ERGH!
Always dreaded that art class... and here it was biting my butt all day yesterday. I'd paint out some guide lines...and could hear my old teacher's voice in my head ... "hmmmm well if we extend all the lines to a point somewhere off the canvas ...blah blah..." Guess I should have paid more attention in that class.
But I think it sort of works. In a weird cartoon way. Which is really what I want. I love the squash and stretch reality of old cartoons.

And I want that in here - more cartoon than real, but not too cartoon...

So I think the street looks like it connects to the buildings and the car is almost on the street (sorta)

ALOHA!
