It's fun to visit you. Love the wood burning and Maori. See you at Oasis if not before art-brother. Hugs, Wendy
Thanks Art-Sister! All i gotta do is send Otto some $$$ and i will then officially be vending with the esteemed Thor at Tiki Oasis this year! A friendly insightful TRUE artist who should provide good company and conversation between the crowd throngs... Looking forward to seeing YOU and all those fellow Friends and Arteests who are long overdue some Hugs! :)

Quote from LLT...
"ATP-Who is Exeter? I see you have used him on MP's thread as well...
please explain..."
Kinny!!!
As a fan of 1950s Sci-Fi (you are, are you not?)
this is from the great & cheesy movie "This Island Earth"
"Exeter" was the head Alien from the planet Metaluna
who came to Earth to recruit (kidnap) the top Scientist's
to help save Metaluna from total annilation.
(You should know this!)
Watch it, now!

Meh...
the monster thing used to fascinate me as a kid
When i would stumble upon it in the Monster Movie rags of the 70's
but the rest of the movie looks like every other from that era
Black and White films
saturated with a looming
Atomic Destruction/Utopia
Commies and Bombs disguised as other-Worldly visitors
over it...
Would rather watch all the old episodes of kikaida,Thank you very much!

One of the best, and cheesiest '50s Sci-Fi B-Movies ever! Maybe only second to "Invasion of the Saucer Men."
I will get around to Netflixin it sometime...
i imagine the Mystery Science Theater Folks give it a good rousing!

It's okay LLT, I really dig old 40's/50's movies and I didn't recognize it either and have also been wondering what it was from. :wink:
"The First Sip' looks like it would glow under a black light, I am not sure but it may possibly be the brightest picture I have seen you do. Dig the wood burning I like to do that myself once in a while. :)
Vincent Price "the Last Man on Earth" is my fave from that Black and White Sci-Fi category.
Been playing with color combos to capture that indoor bar lighting,even if it is from a Bent perspective...
I'm hoping they Glow Without a Black-light!
If you scroll down,this new offering below follows that same color exploration...
Hopefully,as soon a the studio is perfect for it,
you can share some Tiki woodburns with us! :)
Well.. Time for some ART!
"the Fallen Comrade"
acrylic gouache and cel-vinyl on wood
23 x 13.75"
image: 11 x 20"
Here it is WITHOUT the thrift store PERFECT frame
and some details!
This painting is about that one friend who happens to take a dive some night out on the town (or at Tiki Oasis...) We have ALL had a friend like that...this is a painting about THEM...
our FALLEN COMRADES!
:)
Some Background...
I went for a looser style
still bringing in elements of the stained glass style
but loosening it up
making it more painterly than graphic...
the colors were also a fun little recess
brights next to neutrals next to darks..then shadowing it in with a raw umber and highlighting areas with some dark mustard and naples yellow,and then some washes of black ,but just in the areas that needed it......
Uh Oh....
the Fallen Comrade...
i love lamp.
Fish Float lamps
a Background Table
Closeup of the Background Table
And here's one i finished up at Mojave Oasis

such a great place to relax and hang with friends

12 x 16"
and some close-ups...
Hut!
Sun and Another Hut!
Idol or Ancestor Carving
a closeup to show the ground
and some of the rough ink and tissue paper stain

and one last treat...Early Saturday morn i wandered the park and did
quick studies of some the Tikis adorning the poles around Mojave oasis...There were some new ones erected in the half circle vintage trailer area this year and they look GREAT!
