Why Thank you cy!
and a Big Aloha to y'alls!
the intl Tiki marketplace was a BUH-LAST!
Highlights were a Wendy Cevola Hug and a brad Parker one too!

haven't been able to share a lot of work lately
myself,Douggles,and Toe have been cooking up a three man show
a "War of the Gargantua"
(a follow up to Toe and my "Clash of the Titans" exhibition early in 2013)
for this upcoming March 7th
at the Egan gallery in Fullerton....
But enough of that....
Here's some studies for one of the pieces for this exhibition
(we chose 12 subjects and are each giving them our own spin
three of the twelve subjects involve Tiki!)
One of the categories was "Papua New Guinea"

so i'ma doing a PNG Surfboard shield for it!
Here are some of the studies from the ol' sketchbook....

Finally found a good mix of elements....

Here's the base color-shaping it out....

Finished this already,BUT! the sealant is still drying
so here's some photos before i started REALLY makin it all good and stuff!

and a close-up

Will share more later,Ohana!
