Kinny, I enjoyed your Song of the Puffer fish painting in Sven's Tiki Pop book. It's always fun seeing your artwork. One of these days I hope to get one of your art pieces.
Aloha hil!
You have always been so sweet and supportive and i thank you! The Tikipop book and Exhibition was an unexpected thrill to be a part of!
and sharing the foldout with Doug,Derek, and Brad gave us all a nice validation for all the amazing output (i was talking for them,i still feel like a little brother in amazement of his older,more masterful siblings) Remember Darling,i try to keep all budgets,big and small,in mind... Original art for the Peoples!:)

Wow- my favs:
toppled mug, waiting, the collection of the Hawaiian gods and
Giggle
Dude you are on fire
And u kick ars
Jon
Mahalo Jon! Hope a few cracked you up!Sometimes i feel like the narrative breathes life into these drawings,extends the joke/good feeling about the situation pictured.. The Hawaiian Gods were just kinda abstraction studies
and they somehow got a lil inspired-maybe as full blown paintings later! Waiting is already on the way to a hut in Canada. I imagine those two waiting in customs..
Same pose! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE GOOD VIBES!

It's been awhile since I had my last Kinney fix. When you do post its a feast for the eyes and heart.
I still love those birds best. I think your art would look great on Jams World Hawaiian shirts. They
are my favorite shirt maker. They are located in Hawaii but I've never seen one of their shirts with
a tiki on it. They need you desperately. Then I could wear your art. Their shirts are very different
just like you!
I'll miss my Kinney hugs at Tiki Oasis but we'll be done for some Marketplaces at Don's. I hope you keep
going there.
Cheers, Wendy
Hey Wendy! Sorry to hear that you won't be at oasis BUT we'll catch up soon
at some Intl Tiki marketplace! I used to design a lot of prints when working for Rusty and especially Hawaiian Island Creations back in the day.Aimee always tells me i should do prints... I would just need a manufacturer to take the art-translate it into a repeat that i approve ,allow me a say in the final samples and fabric and after final approval send me a few samples and some royalty checks...if you find one-throw them my way! I'll hook Dan Up! :)
Sending you a Big Tiki Sister hug to you and Dan over the internets!

Dude, you're a sicko! Great, great work! I've had some episodes prepping for Oasis where I thought I was going to lose it, so I can't imagine how you felt cranking out those 26. Keep it up Brada!
Thanks TRRocka!
As you will see below...turning 50 has not slowed down this express train...Especially before an event ,when one gets that burst of energy knowing they may touch many people with their art,as well as reunite with old friends and meet fellow like minds! no wonder our creative juices flow so crazily right beforehand! Thanks for the encouragement kind Sir!
And now onto some new work and a collection of work that you may have seen,but that i'll be bringing to share at the event!
Let's look at embellished ceramics FIRST!
A Captain Seamus Appleton Estate mug Ruint by yours truly!
(Toe and i each painted a mug of the other's design.
Tommy is doing up a PiNGo!)
next to my PiNGo "Comedy Gold" Edition
Both were lovingly embellished with enamel on the outside only
Still wouldn't advise drinking out of em
but my lawyers say i gotta say that...
:)
More Customized PiNGo mugs!
"Jungle Love" edition (left)
"Nocturnal Neighbors" edition (right)
acrylic and cel-vinyl paint on the PiNGo bisques with a TRIPLE MAXXX Ultra Clear and Glossy Polymer sealing
and this last version of PiNGo offered to you humble natives
"Oranges Schmoranges,who Cares?" edition
acrylic and cel-vinyl paint on the PiNGo bisques with a TRIPLE MAXXX Ultra Clear and Glossy Polymer sealing
Here is a customized Classic Cocktail set....
the Colorforms edition!
What Holden did was save me a few of the pitchers with the sandblasted areas unglazed SO it would still be safe for drinking,AND i could customize the outside!
Remember this mug?
Also hand-painted an extra Tikifarm/Kinny collaboration "Pu-pule" mug.One of the first three mugs i did with the Farm! Conceived and drawn out by moi,sculpted by the Master,David "Squid" Cohen,and produced by Holden,this was a set of three (Oli-oli.Kakaka,and Pupule) they had side panels depicting various day and night scenes...Since Pu-Pule means "Very angry/offended",i pictured Cannibal huts on the side medallions....
Well Check out the "Chocolate Thunder" edition!
i even hand-tinted the medallions with washes of enamel
Boy was that Difficult!
Here it is!
The Coup de grace!
The Holy Grail of fun things i have painted!
the Finished and Sealed collaboration between
my dear Art-Comrade Squid,and myself...
Years ago, Thor Stor produced a Beautiful Spirit Hut
carved by the legendary David "Squid" Cohen,
He was kind enough to give me a bisque to paint....
Well, after sitting under the waiting couch in the computer room,
i dusted it off and painted it specifically for this Oasis!
And cuz i was thinking of my buddy Dave Cohen AKA Squid !
One of a kind and ready for your Trophy Shelf!
"Spirit Hut"
Beautiful bisque mold by Squid
ruint by kinny "Little lost Tiki" Ruzic!
"Aquarium Edition" One of a Kind!
I think these might be out of stock as well
but i can't confirm that yet...
Enjoy! It looks all juicy with the Triple Coating Sealing!
And it really POPPED the colors ,as you can see! Available at Tiki Oasis!
and some closeups to really get a feel of the Aquarium Colors!
here's a new painting that needed to get banged out!
"the Drum Triage"
12 x 12"
Acrylic and cel-vinyl on canvas mounted on wood
with some close-ups
I'll also have over 200 drawings-all in a fancy milk crate for you to peruse!
Like this ONE!
And by the way....Did you recognize these fellows from around?
or these three rapscallions?
Does this look a lil familiar?
:)
Not mentioning any names... I'm just going to show all these older previously posted pieces but keep them anonymous for now
(it's just too late to type them out tonight)
But they'll all be at oasis for you to see in the Reals!
besides all this
a handful of prints
and some woodburns you've seen in a previous post...
I'll be bringing these oddities!
Nuff Said Ohana!
We'll see you THERE!
