Hey everyone!!! My name is Jason Hamilton. I'm a 36 year old artist/musician from the land of exotica, New Jersey!!! Yes 36 years here and i'm just about ready to leave the mainland. For me this all started back in the mid 90's. I read a review in Juxtapoz art magazine for a cd by Esquivel. I bought the cd, brought it home, listened to 2 tracks, paused it, went back to the store, bought another cd. This led me to find Martin Denny, Les Baxter and all the rest. I have been working on some very realistic tiki, stone idol, designs using Zbrush and Photoshop. I'm going to be posting them as they are finished. I also am working on a few tiki tunes here in my home studio. I keep the traditional style intact but i've added some heavier percussion. Conga's and all with 808 style drum beats underneath. Growing up in NJ and having a strong desire to be on some tropical island i decided to blend the two together. Not a new concept but it's a little bit harder and moodier than I've heard so far. I'm hoping this site can help me find some new things. I'll be posting more very soon. Hope to hear from some of you!!!!!!!
