Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Well, I stayed up and worked out the final look of just where the light is gonna be coming from in this painting, with help from the pod cast about H.P. Lovecraft's tale "The shunned House". I got so interested, I went thought my audio books and put on "The Dark Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, volume 4 (unabridged)" which as a really awesome reading of that chicken-skin story "The Shunned House" as the second chapter in it. ...OH Yeah, it's just as awesomely great as I remember! Even betta'! Plus, the narrator "Wayne June", wow… his deep growl baritone voice is a special-effect all by itself! The perfect voice to read such a dark and chilling adventure tale!

Story telling - it is so important to human culture. I was thinking, Ancient Hawaiian Culture is said to have been primitive mainly because it had no written language. But, they had no need for written language. I think they had the highest form of communication already. Story Telling! Nothing can replace a good story teller, in person, face to face telling his "tribe" a story. Sure you got yer newspaper, tele-phone, internet, e-mail, tweets, and like that, but, that's only quantity over quality. Face to face story telling, where you can watch how your audience is "getting it" or not… nothing can ever replace that. It's gotta be the highest form of human communication, still to this day.
But I digress….

Tiki-Tribe, If you dig HPL, and are looking for a good audio book of his work, this is one I highly recommend!
You can find that audio-book here:

ANYways...


Here's the painting, it's overly long title "A black Cat Crosses the Path of the Night Marchers" now shortened to "Nightmare Number one" or it might be "Moe 'ion" ( the Hawaiian word for Night Mare).
