Tiki tribe,

Roughing out the skulls and flowers... gotta kick this one in the ass to "get 'er done!". I had the great pleasure and luck to contact an artist who's work I really enjoy. He appeared in the same issue of "Hey! Modern Art & Pop Culture Magazine" - the french publication : Eric Joyner - famous for painting vintage toy robots & donuts. His extremely flattering response to my Face Book message (amazing who you can find on that thing and who will actually reply !) He said I was pretty much designing whole worlds outa' my head which was much harder than what he did (roughly) well, it really was nice to hear. So, perhaps I gotta free up my style a bit, not overwork every-single-fricken-thing in the painting, and focus on certain things that get that extra umph. I really can't take 3 months on a painting... it's killing my career, I'm making a NY resolution (which I usually hate doing, but here goes) I'm working towards getting paintings done in n2 months, and ultimately 1 month each. that would be heaven. I know a lot of over working y aert is through fear that it's just not good enough... so I gotta get past alot of self doubt still. Anyways, dat's dat,. Big aloha,
Sketching out tiki mugs which I can't show until some of the legal stuff is more ready, so I may not post for a few days.
