Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Working up a few ideas - now that the huge event is past I can focus on the 2016 Tiki-Art show at La Luz.

First a few special small commissions like this hand tinted Wood cut - one of the very last ones.

Here's a sketch of a "Tiki-Dog" painting.

…And there was this other idea. A famous Hawaiian Dragon from Mythology who can shape shift into a woman, and who was a renown surfer.. named "Kihawahine" meets a demi-god Shark-Man, also from Hawaiian mythology, named "Nawnaue".
But... this is really complex idea. Basically I don't know if I'm good enough of an artist to pull it off as I "Saw" it in my head. So, I may have to redraw it several times, to get it to a low-brow place where I could tackle it. But it's a great image, came in a sort of dream I was having, and I really want to get in down on canvas some how. Have it in my 2012 show - so I can make it as good as it can possibly be.
Well… we shall see how it works out.
There are a few other ideas still in the wings waiting to get to the drawing table and then the canvas - boy gonna' be a lot of work making this show happen!
Anyways working on several things at once so I don't run into any brick walls and get stuck on just one again. Advice from LLT - ya' know.

More laters!
