Aloha Tiki Tribe!~

Yo-Ho Tiki Tribe! Yo ho a pirate's life for me!
I wanted to show the "oldest things" in my collection of pop-culture "stuff"

This
here be some pirate stuff, ARRRR...

The book's "Dead Men Tell No Tales" by E.W. Hornung, illustrated by Harey T. Dunn circa 1910 (makes it 105 years old!)

The MPC Walt Disney's PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN Model Kit is 1972 -Also called "Dead Men Tell No Tales" (!) it's my one link to my childhood. I'm glad I kept it through all the moving round to collage, to Hollywood, all over L.A., then here to Hawaii. I painted the Undead skeleton Pirate Captain, but I still have to paint the Treasure and other goodies - yep, happy to say I still have all the pieces, even the instructions!

Now for something NEW! - Here's a new Tiki Design.

Spear fishing is a major past time here in Kona.

So I designed a "Spear Fishing Tiki" I hope the soft-rubber fishes can be made, so they can stick on his spear.

Though, I don't think I'd go spear fishing around the waters near Kona - I don't like the idea of hauling a line of freshly speared and bleeding fish with me as I swam through waters where more than a few tiger sharks live! Hmmm….No, no… No thanks. Think I'll stick to painting Tiki-Art!

Here's the next Skate Deck I'm painting - it's "Da' Talking Tiki Board" Half Skate Board / Half Ouiji Board.

OK….. more laters!!

BIG
ALOHA!
