Thanks everyone, really appreciate the comments! Sorry no posting this weekend I had another bout of gout from a food allergy and have been limping along with a cane. Difficult enough to get to the living room let alone to my studio.

Hiltiki: Thank you, I love doing detailed pieces, but I admit this is probably the most intricate piece I have done yet. Thanks for stopping by!

Wendy: as always you are incredibly gracious. I guess so this post is not bare bones I will show you what I finally ended up doing with the paints you gave me. I got all the nails in the shelving in so they just hang there and are so handy to just grab a few feet away from my desk.

VampiressRN: Thank you for the compliments! You had me stumped there for a bit I had never heard of Design Toscano and had to look it up. Too rich for my blood, but man I really love the sarcophagus cabinet! Functional and cool as all get out! At my current job though that would be about 5 months of payments LOL. I've been in love with ancient Egypt as well as other ancient cultures for a long time. I attribute the love of Egyptian particularly to visiting this theatre when I was young; it was a whole other world, unlike anything else my young eyes had yet seen. In some ways even Disneyland didn't measure up to it. Thanks for dropping by the tomb. :wink:

And now.... if you can stand the suspense.... paint organization!

Okay fine, I'll throw in a quicky I old lady mask I painted last week for a start up theatre company.

And I can't remember if I mentioned it, I have a facebook fanpage for my art. Not anything earth-shatteringly new, but lots of sketches... right now a lot of Goonies practice sketches more than anything. If you are a true Goonie, I'm sure you'll like them... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tiki-Tiger-Studios/524934474245882

Aloha 'till next time my camel riding compatriots!
