Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Grog, naw I am working on the painting "2 tikis". I had some other work to do , planning the huge tiki mug release party is taking a lot of time and effort on the side of things, but it's all coming together so well. Very exciting stuff, and if you don't know what I'm talking about go to the Tiki Events and check it out :

SOOOOOOOO, now lets look at the two tikis. Sometimes it's good to take a little time away, come back to a painting and you can see it with fresh eyes.

What I saw was I needed to do some fixing up on my tikis. They got a little too cartoony for my tastes, and I wanted them to be fun and expressive but not too crazy - the tiki gods on this seething active volcano I live on might take offense if I do not treat their far flung pop-culture likenesses with respect! so here's where we are about now...

Yep! only days away from being done! Feels right and good and my inner tiki-o-meter is pointing towards the green.

Big ALOHA!
