Look like a couple bowl paintings to GROG.
GROG really wish GROG could make it down since GROG miss the opening reception. But, today GROG and roommate working on finishing small retaining wall/planter at GROG' cave. Which is too bad, because GROG have full carton of eggs to throw at you guys while you're painting.
Have a good one without GROG you bastards.
Yes Ernie! and ANOTHER new Bowl painting for you to check out BELOW!
I'm glad you opted to work on a planter/retaining wall for the cave,
THAT might get some ladies over...
NOW would be a good time to eat those eggs you saved for the Closing reception!
Hopefully,you'll come out to laLuz and see myself,Toe,and the Giant Horne there!
:)
Did i mention,folks...My piece in the Laluzapalooza show is already spoken for!
YAY! a red dot at la luz....life don't get much better for a hermit artist boy! :)
Thank YOU all for your
wonderful sentiments,
comical observations,
and steadfast encouragement!

"King Octopus"! All hail the KING baby!
Thanks a HEAP,Brad!
I think it was mostly your encouragement and example
that was the motivation behind creating and submitting a piece!
Miss you,brother!

King Octopus is the coolest thing I've seen recently!
Your woodburns may be the coolest art anyone has done, ever.
I'd say, "Keep Rockin'", but you don't need it!! ALL you do is rock.
Robbbbbbbbbbbbb!
You are so funny!
We share that challenge of the neglected mediums
velvet and pyrography
Glad it delights you!

I'm sorry there isn't as much LLT posting...
i wish i had the time and energy of 5 years ago,posting art once,twice a week...
but these days between work,home,and extraneous art projects and upcoming show studies
it's a lil harder...i DO miss having that luxury and visiting everyone''s posts,but every once in a while i get to admire all the inspiration,talent,and energy here on TC! :)
a P-i-NG-o board game with a spinner would be hilarious!
I'm wondering why tobunga hasn't;t made a board game yet...
that kid can make ANYTHING!
Miss Miss Miss You,dear Wendy!
Hugs to you and Dan!

and dusty studio in Orange!

Love this thread. Love it!!
Thank you Kinny for brightening my day!
Thank YOU WestADaddy-O!
I'm glad that these pieces can bring smiles and amazement to the Ohana!
Went to a Szulkaski drawing exhibition last weekend with Toe
and we left there SO inspired and SO Amazed and STOKED
I was beside myself,being a BIG admirer of this gent
and Art Fever for the First Quarter is Installed!
It's such a joy that art can do that!
Thanks for the STOKE!
:)
Gonna start with a SEMI-Tiki thing and then will go into the HARDCORE TIKI/POLY-POP stuff
m'kay?
"the Jungle Pool"
ink and sharpie on Aquarelle paper
This is a study for a mural we did in our lunchroom at work
Tom painted a Dodo with a Third Eye
The space we had to work on was DAUNTING...HUGE,but about 10 of us gathered together
and did our THANG!
i got an out-jutting wall and the corner area...
We both did a lil bit more and fine-tuned and finished our areas...but i'm waiting til they get the whole lunchroom area done...it's gonna have astroturf,trees,a telly,foosball,video games/arcade games,a library,etc....our bosses are pretty cool....
Anyways...Here's the piece from the Clash of the Titans Closing Reception
Tom and i were Live Painting,but it was more of a gabfest
so it took a while to finish...
"the Patient listener"
acrylic and cel-vinyl on wood
with a Superb Bamboo Ben frame!
30x20.5" framed
17x22.5" image
private collection
already! :)
Here's the painting by itself...
Here's some close-ups to enjoy!
a Delighted lil PNG shield fellow
(maybe P-i-NG-o's cousin!)
here's the patient moai mug
listening to his drunken gabby friend
some details of the interior
a bird/croc canoe...
Some more background for you to see
a happy little Bowl,shielded from the incessant babbling behind him...
This chap appears cool as a cucumber!
a dazed wall shield with a palm-carved tiki in the background...
BlahBlahBlahBlah
aaaaaaand to finish this week's entry
Here's an "in Progress" piece for Sunday's Bowl-o-rama at the Tonga hut
Here's a link to the Thread..
http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=44693&forum=17&start=0
MP (Empee!) cut out some shapes and mounted them on a piece of velvet with a beautifully carved frame
he made one for Toe and one for myself....
NOTE: these pieces are DIMENSIONAL..so they APPEar to pop outward
BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO! :)
you can KIND OF see how much they stick out...makes for a difficultchallenge
and with only a week...DAUNTING!
Well, here's where i am as of today...
i'll be playing with fooling the viewer's eye,so check back here this week..
Welpers!
That's all i got for today!
Hope it makes for a worthwhile visit!
Mahalos for all the visits!
:)
