Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Here's where I am on the newest painting…. the tiki in the middle of the big canvas.
Here is a Mark Ryden just to show you that every idea has been done before - this is his little kid in the middle of a big canvas:

And here is a pencil sketch of some thought s about this painting… like it might have flaming skulls floating around it's head or ghostly shark 'aumakua swimming around it's feet. (like the Shark-Tiki Tiki-Mug)

Here is where the Tiki is at right now.

Since he is woody color and warm, the back ground will most likely be cool blue/green or purple /Grey in tone so he pops.

Took a "Sunset Brake"

Now back to work slapping' paint and makin' da' Tiki-Art!

Some one pointed out this tiki looked like one of the tikis in "Forbidden Island", well this basic design was also used in "Hawaii-Ween".

Well thanks for watching the paint dry - more laters….only days away till the big show in LA at La Luz de Jesus Gallery! (OMGAWD!)
So I better get back to it!
