The Lurid low-brow Tiki-Art of Brad (tiki-shark) Parker - Other Crafts

Got a new art gig in the making... so, here's my first pass at a new logo for a new company. The Company is called ARTIFEX. (Latin... for artist.) The logo is a tad rough right now, it is a black & white riff on the Moai giant in "Faster Than Disaster". My tech people say I gotta get in done in A.I. now, so it'll be a bit more simple and stream lined. Which is good for a logo. It's all going to tie into a new web site called parkerartlive.com. So, I guess you can get an idea where this is going. With all this new easy tech for cameras, and since I'm all for showing step by step how I paint, and you, seem to dig seeing how I slap paint on a canvas, I might as well show some live painting as well - now that I have some folks interested in helping out on the tech side of things. Anywho, we'll see how it all shakes out in the next few months. It (the new web site) should be up and running sometime before or on Halloween (my favorite Holiday - so seemed like a good time for a goal!) Basicly, it'll be me getting ready for my next big art show. An art show that will take me 2 years to create a body of work for. Yep, two years! See, I take about 2 months to paint a 24" x 30" canvas in my pop surreal style. 8 to 10 hours a day. If I really push myself - and I always push, cause I want to make each one better. So, it's gonna take me about two years to create 12 new paintings - good ones, paintings that I can be sure I didn't just "crank out" - but paintings I feel I put everything I had into them. Poured my soul and guts into and sought to make them better than what I did before... and that will really knock your socks off. ( I hope.) So, anywho, first step. Set up. Here's a rough of the logo. I'll keep posting here to keep you up dated. Scary as heck. This could all fall apart. But, since the Tiki Tribe has been so supportive so far, and really helped me get thought sooo much... I might as well take another step, and hope you all dig seeing me screw up in real time! Big Aloha! Bp
