Aloha Tiki Tribe,
Music is a huge inspiration to my work. This exotica song is one of my favorites. If I had unlimited time (and money) I'd animate it and just put it out on the net. Art for Art's sake.
This musical piece I am always seeking to capture on canvas is "Tiki" (this version is by Les Baxter I think) It's a very powerful piece. Reaching at moments the same emotional realm of Metal, and Classical, it's got a "big Band" feel too, all equal in emotional intensity in my mind. Exotica/Metal is the musical form of my Pulp Tiki Art, I guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF28Wz-z3NY

It'd be great to animate some of the great Exotica tunes... to this level of detail:

Oh well, I'll have to settle to just creating the best acrylic paintings I can instead of animations!
ALOHA!
