Mele Kalikimaka Tiki-Tribe!


Sketching Tiki-Ideas for an up coming project…still. Gotta get these babies worked out soon.

I wan a get 6 to 8 good "types", like this is what I'll call a "Hero" Tiki.

These are ideas from one of my favorite sources… Crazy AL! I always love his designs. so animated and expressive, with out being "silly" or "disrespectful" to what a Tiki can really look like.

One of my most popular designs (the one that made it into becoming a tattoo the most) is this one, the "ghost tiki", here he's in a more "Palm tree" shape than a "stalking" shape. To lighten him up maybe he gets a uke instead of a shark tooth war club?

And I really want to re-visit my "Shark-Tiki" and see what other things I can do with it.

Someone suggested using a Hammer Head on top of his head, which lead me to make his head one with the Hammer-head. Hmmm…

Something interesting is starting to develop I think…

Lots of teeth and claws, am I influenced by my environment?

Here's another beautiful Hawaiian Sunset for you… where ever you are… even if your looking at snow.

Laters!
