ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
(this ones for you Tobunga!)
Well, it's about done. I just saw a few details I forgot. Like the things that stick out of the middle of exotic flowers and little things like that, but other than that I think it's done! (WHEW!)
She is one interesting tourist... this idea started as a riff on that vintage "Hawaiiana" image that was popular in the 40's, of a girl in a grass skirt on the beach strumming a ukelele.
Here's a better look-see at TIKI VS GODZILLA. The Big G was a lot of fun to paint. Took a few tries befroe I got the right "look" of the version I was painting - the extra long back finned "mean" looking Godzilla from "Godzilla 2000". Then I threw in some of the more fantastic effects of his "melt down" from the movie "Godzilla VS Destroyah"... (theres lots of great visual stuff in that epic everything-blows-up-real-good-ultra-puppet-show)
So just a few touches left. Then It's done and will be posted up on the La Luz De Jesus web site for SALE at the big ART Show on July 6th.
Here's a link to the gallery's web site for more info on the show:

If you're in LA, drop in and give it a gander! Hope 2 see you there! Really! I hope I can get a few of the tiki tribe to come on out for opening night. (Did I mention to you that I keep having this nightmare that I'm at my big art show at La Luz and no one shows up, and I don't have half my paintings done, and the ones done are all crappy, and I'm standing there all alone, wearing only my Spider-man under pants)
Anyways, if you can make it to the opening, GREAT, they are usually very fun! It's "La Luz de Jesus Gallery", and the hardcore L.A. hipster art crowd that usually attends is as much fun to look at as the art on the walls.
If you can't make it, no worries.... I'll just be there... alone ... in my underpants... crying.
ALOHA!
