Aloha Tiki Tribe! Here's the first inking on the drawing. For those of you who just walked into the movie, this B & W drawing will be for a Tee shirt for the big Body Glove 60th Anniversary / Sea Creature Tiki-Mug Party in October held here in Kailua-0Kona Hawaii at the Royal Kona Resort, and the Wyland Art Gallery. Long story. Started with a short surf film entered into a contest made by my buddy Greg Browning (Body Glove pro surfer now movie director). His Entry was a surf/monster movie - it won first place! He showed the 7 minute short to me, and got me inspired to paint a low-brow tiki-art painting of the sea-creature. While I did that, Tiki Farm asked if I would design a 3 mug set. So I took 3 element from the painting and made them into 3 tiki-mugs. They came out really great! So, my agent arranged a TikiMug release party. The party kept getting bigger, till it turned into a Body Glove 60 year anniversary / Sea-Creature tiki-Mug release event, one day at the Royal Kona Resort, the next day at the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery. The owners of Body Glove are coming to sign posters, prints, tee shirts, Tiki-Mugs..Plus the Sea Creature (the guy in da' suit) will also be there. October 24th and 25th. The local radio stations are gonna run promos for it, and broadcast live from the Royal Kona Event. The Mayor of the Big island may even show up. So, anyways, somewhere we decided we needed a Tee shirt to sell along with the limited edition Tiki-Mugs (which the gallery is taking pre-orders on, and quickly selling out of ). You can see more info on this event over in Tiki Central Tiki-Events (non LA events). So....back to the Tee Shirts...heres the pencil drawing starting to get inked.

Here's the Ad with the Original low-brow Tiki-Art painting of the Sea Creature.

and here's da' swanky Tiki-Mug set.

You can order tiki-Mugs over in the TC market place.

ALOHA!
