Tiki Shark - thank you, maestro of maestros.

tiki moon - That was very cool of you, I will check it out. Enjoy Vig. 2, it may be the tightest design I've done.

danlovestikis - thank you, Wendy, those are some very kind words and much appreciated. Good luck with this weird medium. Also, I can't believe you looked at EVERY page!!

THE FOLLOWING IS FOR CORY IN LONDON:

Thanks to the 100 degree temperature (38C), scorching sun, and FREAKING INSANE humidity, attendance at tonight's DaddyKatz ( Ohio's only hotrods, midcentury, tiki shop) cruise-in was scarce.

I chose a corner where I could feel the A/C. and started the second copy of Tiki Vignette 4 tonight (shrunken heads!!). You have to Love the red rod.

I worked till 10:15, and got the red lighted areas just bright enough to see.

Yesterday, thanks to bad inventory pratices at local art supply stores, I spent hours driving around gathering materials, then working until 12:45am stretching and prepping the velvet so I could begin painting tonight.

Note to self: start keeping an inventory of stretcher bars.
