Aloha Tiki Tribe!
OKEEDOKEE-
So my agent took the painted skate deck up to da' north side of the island to my printer, where he's gonna' see if he can scan it in or photograph it …. so it can be used to make more skate decks , or I guess, vertical giclee Art prints.

While, I was working on it during one late all night-er painting session, I had an epiphany! - I had one more skate deck that was too dark and needed a re-paint as well. But not like the one I just did with "Scardy Cat". But what? hmmm…. So It hit me - I'll paint it like a "Talking Tiki Ouija Board / Skate Board!

Don't see too many of THOSE things around… like, ah, I've NEVER seen ANY!

So, hey, a cool-weird-pop-culture mix of a couple of out-sider ideas like an "WEE-GEE board", a "tiki", and a "skate board" that (maybe) has never been done before - that's like Pharaoh's gold to a Low-Brow Artist!

OK don't look like much now…

But ya' gotta start some where - and…

I talked it over with my "Little Friend" and he said folks dig seeing the "artist's process" - even that of sad introverted tiki artists who's only friend's are tiny lizards, so, here it goes!
More laters!
BIG A L O H A !
