A Grand Opening at la Luz!
A little bit of R&R
and the boy is back into the Saddle!

And not only THAT
but he's concocting yet another
Challenge

Visually and with the Subject matter
DEPTH!
CONTENT!
COMPOSITION!
COLOR!
TEXTURE!
MOVEMENT!

I got the important elements I wanted to visually "talk" about into the scene...

1. Looming face of Mystery Woman "She-Bat" watching over Honolulu/Gotham.
2. Classic Car racing down the blvd...
3. A Zombie holding a swanky tropical drink in a...
4. ...Really cool, moist & dripping, Tiki Mug.
5. Exotic tropical flowers... these are even a bit more surreal then I've done before... with a tad of tentacles and octopuses mixed in Guess I'm mixing a little Cthulhu into my Orchids. (Showing my love of Lovecraft!)
6. Tropical sun setting into the pacific ocean.
7. Raising out of the tropical drink is a wahine-spirit showing how potent the concoction is!
8. Some strange lookin' palm trees.
9. A Swank looking Tiki Bar with a mysterious female stranger in the doorway...

All of your loves
congregating together
to telll us ALL a story
and create a mood...

Right on Bradley!
Got a great HUGE Locecraft collection with a few i haven't read...
Horror at Redhook is one i've heard about and am finally starting!
Toe and i are still trying to secure a time/space for that lovecraft show
and i imagine you're gonna shine like a Golden God on that piece!

Again....remembering little drunken snippets from the show
and i spent a good deal of time just eyeballin your paintings up close
and smiling and imagining you cranking "Strutter" or "Black Diamond"
and focusing completely in that secret joy that artists experience!
Congrats my friend and thanks for sharing your process,your thoughts and doubts and feverish nightmares!
Big Hug to you and Abbas!
