Wonderful stuff as always, LLT. Yeah those painted classic cocktail sets remind me of colorforms too... guess the idea pretty well stuck once you mentioned it. :wink: Those new birds are creepy are they gonna pluck my eyes out for looking at 'em too long? I look in their beady little eyes and can't help but think of Bodega Bay...make them stop looking at me!
Hey tigertail! Total Colorforms! i used to have the Spiderman one...Which one did YOU have? Toe gets REAL freaked out by them birds too.. Well,they are supposed to have evolved from reptiles....
Congrats on the new studio! Time to cut loose...

Ken - I'm STILL ALIVE, despite a serious attempt to kill me!
Your new work is SHOCKINGLY COOL!
I see the colorforms connection, but those were never this awesome.
I'm always surprised that you are in a CONTINUOUS STATE OF EVOLUTION. How do you always keep your work so fresh after all this time? Baffles me...
Hey Robb! Good talking to you on the telly a few weeks ago! looking forward to you coming back out of your shell and creating more masterworks! Thank you for being a steadfast art-brother and a major inspiration! As for the evolution part....One's got a responsibility to push their talents and gifts as far as they can go....
and how do i keep it so fresh?
Saran Wrap! :lol:
AND here's some replies to your comments after that World-Famous appearance on the Ray Boylan show...

Thank you for that vote of confidence.... i was SOOOOOO nervous before that interview! I drank a 5-hour energy,a WHOLE Monster drink,a doubleshot of absinthe,and a bonghit to settle down and MAN! What a fun interview! It's always fun talking to Ray,tho,and he was such a gracious host to allow me run of the grounds in a straitjacket....

I went back to page one so I could judge your improvement over the past 6 years Kenny. Well there's been none! You were so talented when you started posting that you have just turned out the best tiki art consistently. We are so lucky to have you. Hugs, Wendy
You're too kind,sweet Wendy! You may not notice,but there has been improvement in the drawings and the speed of painting..little things
the kinda stuff we all notice about our work when viewing it 7 years later.... I love your energy and YOUR talent and love is astonishing!
Hugs Art-Sister! :)
