Aloha Tiki Tribe,
So Going over what is going to be in the big art show in 2016.
There are supposed to be 13 paintings.
One is done.
Many are already sold.
Here's the list.

1.) Scardy Cat meets the Ghost of Exotica" - This is the one that's SOLD.
It does have a color sketch that looks like this:

started like this :

Finished up like this!

2.) "Madame Pele Protects Hawaii from invading invasive species"
This is a huge idea that's been in my head years, just didn't know if I was good enough to pull it off right. Here a VERY rough doodle.

3.) "The Sunken Tiki Temple" (with guardian Shark aumakua

4.) "Surfing Tiki King"

5.) "Tiki-pup"

6.) "Tiki Dog"
Here's a sketch:

A tone study

The painting in process:

7.) Moon flower Tiki. It's sketch looks like this:

8 ? Here's a rough sketch that's been haunting me - A Tiki God vs a Pink elephant in a tiki Bar:

9 ? un-known so far - but might be an experiment of re-painting over/ embellishing and continuing the work on a finished "Giclee on canvas" - a "double painting" kinda'.

10.) "Kihawahina meets Nanaue" (or Dragon girl meets Shark-Man)

11.) "A Black Cat Crosses the Path of the Night Marchers" - (this one is half done)

This idea started as a story from a friend about her house sitting on the path of the "Night Marchers" !

a sketch from a dream I had after I went to bed that night, still thinking about night marchers…

12.) "Dragon Wrapped Tiki"

A sketch

13.) "Cthulhu thinks on a Tiki"

Here's a real "Pop-Culture" - Surreal" idea. 1920's Pulp "Weird Tales" magazine author H.P. Lovecraft creature sits on a Tiki.

Another sketch

Then to push it into "Low-Brow" I thought lets make him in the pose of Rodan's "The Thinker"

More laters….
ALOHA!
