ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Well, I have a big art show at a "La Luz de Jesus Gallery" in LA next July. It's a great opportunity, so I could not say no. But I do need to produce art faster to fill the wall space. So I am taking the advise from two well accomplished artists : my buddy and famous TIKI Artist Ken Ruzic, and my idol and famous pop surrealist Todd Schorr. Both told me to work on more than one painting at a time. That way, if you ever get "stuck" or Blocked on one, you can switch over and keep going on something that seems fresh.
Here's what I'm working on now...
1.) "Hula Baby" almost done... still got the flowers in the fore ground to paint.
2.) "The Wanderer"
roughed out, was started a while ago, but I stopped when I felt I didn't have the skills to finish, now I have a few more paintings under my belt and think I can do this one right. (i.e. not screw it up !)
3.) Painting #43 "Hawaiian Eye"
Those of you who are fans of the old series, you are right, this is my low brow homage to that great vintage television show!
and another one is starting as soon as "Hula Baby" is done. That way I can be working on the lucky number 3! And This is all so I produce art faster, and not get stuck for days staring at my canvas telling myself how awful it is, why would I even try being an artist anyway, and is it too late to paint everything out and just start over , or give up this art thing and get a real job at "Hot Dog on a Stick".
One last Mahalo form the Island....
the sunset this fine October night had the sun looking like a big orange pumpkin sinking into the blue....
Happy Hula-Ween!
ALOHA!
