Hola Ohana!
Wow!
What a Great time was had at Don's on Saturday!
Biggest turnout EVER!
So many friendly faces
lots of hub-bub and hullabaloo!
and a Big Thank you to all the peoples who stopped by the booth
asked questions
contributed banter
and adopted a lil bit of kinny!
Live painting was a great way to kill 2 birds with one stone...
aaaaand i got a lot of hugs
got to harass and hassle people
and got to tell a few "so so wrong" jokes with a few lucky individuals
tho....as an aside,and this is not to judge,just an observation...
bring me some GOOD jokes....
all you've had were old tired stale chestnuts...
i appreciate the effort and sharing
but please people....
it would be nice to get a real clever joke every few events....
:)
Here's some pics taken by friends there!
I'll be there October 10th
with my fellow art buffoons the Horne and the Toe
and rumor has it,another talented and well loved member of our art family...
more news later....

I dig the Modfish mugs, kinny they are (in my lowest octave voice) GROOVY!
Thanks Lancey!
Wonderful seeing your smiling profile
and sharing a moment on Saturday
ya hot Topic old punk! :)
and Jungle ginger was sly and sweet and lovely as per usual....
BTW
THEM MODFISH....
They STACK!
Would love to produce a range of the colors ,as they would be great little home objects
not only as mugs for the Modernist Tiki Environ
but also can be utilized as...
cereal bowls
Coffee mugs
candy dishes
planters
mini fish bowls
a place to float your lotus
a desk paperclip holder
to name a few!
So be sure and get a bunch
as i'd like to encourage Tikifarm and Holden to expand upon this concept...
mugs,bowls,shots,a pitcher,ashtray
the possibilities are shouting to be brought to reality

That 'showcase' piece is looking insane. Nice work Kinny.
Thanks Swiz! i plan on at least another 12 to 20 hours
to make it snazzy and give it that OOMPH
Grateful for the encouragement!
That was another great thing about live painting at Don's last Saturday...
Getting folks engaged
answering questions
explaining the narrative
unveiling techniques and mediums.
it was humbling to hear such sweet things from the Ohana
so,if an afternoon of drunken Tikiphiles is a litmus test for how the piece will be received....
then,so far so good! :)

Nice, so much art! Modfish looks cool. Custom frames look cool. Hmm, I see a pineapple vessel with a 15 on it. The Moai bowl looks cool as well. hmm....
It's nice to know the ol' seagoat still has his peepers all eagle-eyed!
Have you ever looked at a goat's pupils?
they resemble the spinning hexagon on Saturn's poles
(supposed proof of tetrahedral/Hyper-dimensional geometry
and Torque Physics/Fusion that Hoagland writes about....)
but anyways...
GOOD EYE,MATE!
More on that later...
Due to "punishable by Death" Disclosure agreements with Das TikiFarm
we can slowly give y'alls sneak peeks and teasers of the Anniversary mugs ,but
no finished product revelations until we get closer to the exhibition....
As for the Moai Bowl... would love an "A-OK" Moai bowl to be produced....
always try to put personal favorite/dream mugs,in the hopes
someone will help me get them produced...
Thanks for all the nice words and thumbs ups!
Makin me feel like i'm on the right path...

You are the fabulous Picasso of Tiki.
RV,you are always too generous with your words...
i could only hope to one small part of his genius
i feel like a beta-tape and Picasso is the HD
He IS an artist to strive to emulate
his drive
his knowledge
his bravery and confidence
To be honest....
last weekend i felt a bit like Picasso.....
and here's why...
it was HAWT in the studio
Californy is being mean as of late
and Sweltering us poor artists in our concrete hot boxes...
Sooo, i was painting and hangin at the studio
in my unnerpants all day!
feelin like Picasso....
Would love to attempt some kind of Tiki Guernico
given the time....
Anyways,Thank you again for the visit!

Holy crud
At first I started remembering the names of the art I liked and wanted to comment on.
However there are way too many to remember, love them all!!!!
Dude, you are freaking awesome
and you are hilarious and so giving with sharing your amazement and delight!
That's our jobs as artists,to inspire and move the viewer...
Glad and feelin blessed that is the result of these aimless scrawlins and smatterings!
Thank you!
:)
Alrighty.... didn't get enough progress on "Too Much Information" at Don's on Saturday..
So i will spare you all the repetition ...
BUT! Seeing as i had a Maori style drinking totem
it should be balanced with some Hawaiian Ku gents having a slurp!
Since our last conversation
Was able to squeeze in three sessions on a new piece for November
and decided to throw in a Kainoa bowl!
Here is the first session
a nice blue ground to offset the cadmium orange of it's twin piece...
and a close-up
Second session
more mustard and some cream
the mustard will start to take on an olive hue as it interacts with the aquq blue ground...
and a close-up
Third session
Latest one...
More shading and naples yellow added for hi-lights...
Some close-ups...
Well, that is all, cherished visitors!
Thanks so much for poppin by!
More surprises in store
so keep them peepers peeled
like seagoat!
:)
