I worked late last night ..something was just wrong with the sky and the Gotham-City / Waikiki and how they worked into the mist of the tropical sunset. The first sunset I saw in Waikiki, I stood there as a light mist came down over the city, the light caught it and the whole sky - the very air - turned orange pink. I felt like I had been transported to "planet Hawaii" or something It was so dream-like and beautiful. Hawaii is really powerful on your first visit, but this was like artist over-load. I keep trying to capture that... but on 2-D that's about impossible. Anyways, I got it looking better, and the beach smoother out some more. Lots more to come.... like the sign on theTiki Lounge! (VERY important) What I like this time is I found out I could cut gill slits in my Poly-pop Tiki-Shark Pole face. Now it's a bit more shark. Nice... The mystery wahine needs a drink in her other hand, to match that smoke, and/or blade in her lowered one. I love the new term "Tiki-Noir", (the best audio version of Tiki-Noir is the tune "Tiki" by Martin Denny. Listen to it and I think you'll get me.) ...and I really want this painting to drip with it. Last thought in my head as I fell asleep , face against the canvas last night, was a single tropical flower in the lower right might be whats needed to balance out the city... we'll see. ALOHA! Have a great Week end! Now, go and check out this FRIDAY NIGHT TIKI FRIGHT FILM - "The Disappearance" by pro surfer / film maker and my buddy Greg Browning. Check it out here: http://www.bodyglove.com/campaigns/the-disappearance/?mwrc_session_code=ZXM6giY9va8a6TmC7L3I (and then pre-order the matching Tiki-Art and Tiki Mug Set!) (look over in Tiki Marketplace for da' mugs) [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-06-28 12:59 ]
