Hey thanks for stopping by Robb! I love your velvet paintings. "The Mrs. Stacked Man" painting was originally going to be one of a series of pinups with a vintage arcade theme. The next one was going to be based on Asteroids with a sexy black mama sitting astride an asteroid and wearing a space suit/helmet while shooting at other asteroids. I will come back to the idea some day when I can afford to get either models or better reference material. I had contemplated selling prints of some of these at a local vintage video game convention, but I have nary a clue how to go about the scanning and printing of high quality giclee prints.

Work on the mermaid has stopped for now while a friend is staying over, but will resume soon. Meanwhile my new art site is finally finished: http://www.tigertailart.com be aware there isn't much tiki stuff other than the design of the site pages (it's themed to look like a 1940's WWII tiki bar in Honolulu, and there are little clues here and there to the "back story").
