I am in SHOCK... really... thrilled. Never thought I'd be here. Museum event... sell out... it's sorta blown my little art brain. little lost tiki - Oh... dood... what a battle in the studio it's been lately. I think I forgot how to paint! Post mega show come down! didn't know what I was doing! didn't know if I was an artist any more! Didn't think I'd ever make anything any one would ever want to purchase again. Wow... now I understand the creative cycles a bit more... higher the high - lower the low! Badd Tiki - I know! I got mine bagged and hanging on the wall just cause I'm still lovin' the look of the bagged package still! virani - So kool you found it on the stands! in FRANCE! I'm still in awe of the great package Charlie and crew at KUSTOM put together. Sneakytiki - Big Mahalo! It was a epic moment for me showing there - We were nervous about how my work would sell...now my agent is muttering that it was so darned easy to sell every-freakin-thing that I better get some more work out pronto! Well in about 2 more years I'll have enough for another big show... So tiki tribe art fans... this painting...sheesh... it's has been a huge battle! I re-painted the sky about a hundred times! layers and layers of over painted work. Now it's basicly roughed in color tones. I was stuck. Art block. I thank the spirits of Hula-ween for kicking me through the door. My agent/partner, Abbas, got great seats to a live performance of Rocky Horror at the Aloha Theater - all the shows were sold out, but we got two canceled seats , 4th row aisle. amazing. the show freakin' rocked! There are a lot of tiki tribe folks who are counter culture on the big Island, and something like a live Rocky Horror sends everyones Freak-flags flying even higher than usual. Great show. Best bit: Frankfurter (played to the ultra-max by a full on Mahu!) singing "I'm going home" and strutting out into the audience and sitting in Abbas' lap. What a freakin hoot! Problem: It was two ideas fighting for plac on the same canvas. I finally worked out one would have to wait for another canvas to all it's own. Lounge name is "Cat o' Nine Cocktails"
