Hi Kenny, Mr. Staggerbee would make a great mug. It's time to get Holden back to working with you. So many spots in your paintings would make great mugs or bowls and should be produced. I love that you have a secret project going, I do too and I'm not posting photos until I've made the mold and we start pouring, maybe by spring. Anyway knock on Holden's door your mugs on our shelves are lonely for your next project. Love, love, love back at ya! Wendy
Hey Wendy!
i DO hope you're feeling better after that surgery!
and i hope Tiki Central is warming your heart as you recover!
Let's hear it for Secret Projects!
Mine got shifted to the Christmas to New Years break...
so expect an LLT Blackout during the Holidays...
i'll still be thinking of you,tho....
I'm with you on Mr. Staggerbee!
I sent Holden a sneak-peek of about 5 out of the 70-some concepts
but he's a busy boy with movin and all..
i AM working on a cool project with him that I'm almost finished with and ready to turn in
but that will have to wait as well.....
if Holden doesn't dig the staggerbee,maybe you and i could collaborate! :)
and in the meantime,i'll just be content to paint them in scenes
and wait for some talented sculptors to help me make them reals!
Feel better darling!

When you said "net" I thought you meant fishnet, to you know go with the Tiki theme. This netting looks like you are entering the heart of darkness...appropriate I suppose if you were reading HP Lovecraft. :lol:
Hey tigertail!
Fishnet tears too easy....ask Chuck and MadDog! :lol:
I was reading "the Colour Out of Space" which was cool with the ever shifting light from the netting on the sand and grass.....

Awesome pics Ken! Thanks for sharing these! I love looking at artists set-ups almost as much as the studio shots!
Aloha zerostreet! Vending is a sore spot with me...BUT!!!!With the new easy up
(instead of the "Chinese-zee-up model Dibroc gave to me years ago that was a royal-pain to set up!i think John got a kick out of the fact that i actually tolerated it for so long! :lol:) and netting,i don't even need the pegboard anymore! Now at least,all the hard work goes into the art,where it belongs......Glad you enjoyed my humble Hut of Tropical Goodies!

You pay so much attention to detail to spin your magic that I love your closeups where I can marvel at the work. I can take a whole trip just looking at one painting. You are so talented.
Have a great day and don't forget to paint! Wendy
Wendy Darling! I got some more close-ups for yooooooou! :)
Haven't painted since MOasis....been drawing a bit and warming up...vroooom!
Well....here's another woodburn/tinted wood piece..
"Six-Armed Cannibal"
wood-burn and tinting on wood
Here's some close-ups.... i use a Colwood wood-burner and lemme tell you.. i am spoiled!
it's almost like drawing when that tip is red hot!
and then between the graphic lines of the burn and the washes of tinting
a nice depth and graphic mix for the shading develops....
but i blabber....
here's the deets!
flappin tongue!
resting a skull on his belly!
"them's my feets,Jack!"
detail of the skull corner flourishes
Well;better go to bed soon!
have to work tomorrow!
G'night Ohana!
