Aloha Tiki Tribe... OK, a few LAST dabs o paint, and a clean up of the edges and NOW it's REALLY done. (I think).

"The Body Glove Sea Creature"
24" x 30"
Acrylic on canvas

Here's a look at the Sea Creature's strangest feature: it's LONGEST toes/claws are on the outside of it's feet! (creepy!)

Here's a detailed look at the creature and the two tikis - that will become the objects in a 3 tiki-mug set from Tiki Farm (out later this year)

AND SINCE IT'S "ALOHA FRIDAY-NIGHT"...IT'S THE PERFECT TIME FOR A "CREATURE FEATURE", AND U CAN WATCH THE SHORT FILM THAT INSPIRED THIS PAINTING!

Can't get enough sea creature yet? Okee Dokee! Here's stuff for us hard core tiki tribe folks I don't put on FB.

This tiki in the BG, became the "Body Glove 60 year anniversary Tiki-Mug design" when Tiki Farm came in and we decided to make a tiki mug set to match this painting.

This tiki became know as the "Shark-tiki" and as a tiki mug it has two cool little shark aumakuas (spirits) swimming around it.

And here's a closer look at the creature, which in the 3 mug set is, of course, the creature tiki-mug.

Here's a better look at some unlucky surfers...

... seeking the perfect wave!

And want to hear how hard it was to film a 7 minute surf / monster movie? Scott Smith, pro-surfer and sea creature almost drown a few times... it's a wild tale! check it out!
