Aloha TC Ohana!
man! What a week!
Finally got the studio cleaned and organized enough to begin working again!
And just finished a TOP SECRET job
that i can share with you next week....
patience is a virtue...
Well, this weekend
i shall share some more of my PNG (Papua New Guinea)inspired artwork!
The rawness/power/and bold naive graphic sensibility
belies a raw genius within a more primitive socieity than our own....
and honestly...
their skullracks carry a strange attraction
The figure looks comical and happy
yet it's adorned with skulls!
go figger...
pennjones-Thank you! There's more! Enough to keep you spellbound for years to come! I've done a few glow-in-the -dark pieces...Sometimes without telling the patron! heeheeee!
talo ka-Mahalos!That's actually one of my favorites in the
cannibal contemplative series that grew outward from that!
I love how his tears are just flying off his face! :)
Clarita! I wish i could fly ALL of my friends to this Nov 6th show....
Each one of you has brought the gift of love,inspiration,and laughter
to my art-hermit life
and for that I'm grateful....
Much Aloha and Hugs to YOU!
Benzart-Look who's talking,old friend!
You're a virtual carving factory yourself there!
It's so great to be able to share and exchange art and ideas with all youse driven crazyfolk!
Where and How do you find the time and energy to create this Incredible stuff And keep your Sanity? (Oh Yeah,, forget the sanity question,heh) And Then you STILL make time to Post all this beauty for us to see.
naps and coffee and a tattered social life...
