Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Some days making art is like magic. When you are "in the groove-zone" it's like you are watching someone else paint...some ones hand making art...it's effortless, and so wonderful to be this tool that Art flows out of... other days, it's like digging a ditch in Arizona with a plastic spork. It all depends on if the "Artistic Muse" is there to inspire you. I remember learning about classical Greek culture in high school, and about the Muse of Art - a beautiful woman in a flowing white gown. I wondered if she would come to me if I was going to be an artist.

Many years later, My Artistic Muse is a "Low-Brow Artistic Muse". She's a He. Invisible, but dresses really swanky! Looks a lot like dis:

Brad's pretend, invisible, Low-Brow Artistic Muse sez: "Ah, kid, so you just told everyone you're a TOOL. OK, enough inspiration, I gotta an idea you need ONE MORE TIKI in this painting... let's hack out a place for it..."

More laters!
ALOHA!
