"The Body Glove Sea Creature" Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 30" ... is SOLD! (within 24 hours of offering) And, I'm happy to say it's going to one of my very favorite and best, long-time, art-patrons & supporters of my work, -and thus into one of the best and most impressive "low-brow" Pop-surreal "Tiki-Art" collections on the West Coast. Big Thanks and ALOHA and MAHALO to you - (you know who you are) - my first, and long-time, art-patron, who saw that my art was worth purchasing at considerable $$... thus giving me the ability to devote more time to making Tiki-Art! And, now I know it's not going not storage, but is going to be hung in one of my very favorite places I think my art can be hung! Really, this is wonderful, fantastic news, and makes me happy! Perhaps even makes me think I am doing the "right" thing with my life" - that I chose this artist's path... even with all it's rocky uncertain, scary as heck parts, these moments make it worth while! However, for now, the original painting will stay carefully hung in my swank pad here in Hawaii until it's big public reveal/display at my art show at the world famous "La Luz de Jesus Gallery" in Los Angeles the summer 2014. A professional scanning will be taken of the original painting and it'll become high end giclees for sale on canvas and paper at: the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery 75-5770 Alii Dr Kailua Kona, HI 96740-1782 Phone – (808) 334-0037 Toll Free – (888) 435-6612 Email – [email protected], The art will also (i hope) become part of the promotion of a new line quick drying surf wear from Body Glove, called "Amphibious"! So, it'll be on board shorts, shirts and who knows all what else. The painting is the inspiration for a "3 tiki-mug set" coming from Tiki Farm later this year. The painting itself was inspired by the short surf/monster award winning film made by Greg Browning & John DeTemple & Scott Smith; (who plays the creature) of Body Glove. See the 7 minute film here: "The Disappearance". http://surf.transworld.net/1000151561/videos/imaginarium-body-gloves-the-disappearance/ "The disappearance" short film later went on to win other film fests awards, and Scott has made several appearances as the Creature. We are planning a big "Tiki-Mug release event on October 24th, here in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. Where we'll have the film makers, plus Scott in full creature suit, a limited edition event poster, and - perhaps - the premier of a full length feature of the Body Glove film "The Disappearance"! Ya' See, it was so well received, that Hollywood stepped up and worked with Greg Browning to make this short into a real deal Film! Just might happen, and just might make it's first showing at this event. [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-03-12 00:00 ] [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-03-12 19:03 ]
