ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Aloha from…. "Moku o Keawe"!

HEY- I just learned from a real Hawaiian eldar that this is yet ANOTHER name for"The big Island", or "the Big Island of Hawaii" - or "Hawaii" all which describe the largest island in the state of "Hawaii", and all having sort of the same name which is at times extremely confusing.

So this elder tells me it's known as "Moku O Keawe".
WHAT I gasp?
"Moku O Keawe"..."the Island of Chef Keawe"
"Chief Keawe" was around BEFORE the famous King Kahamehameha. Chef Keawe was a very good and wise ruler, and ruled over a peaceful kingdom.
I tell ya' I learn more all the time I'm here. The more I learn, the more I learn there is to learn!
I just discovered the mythology about HAWAIIAN DRAGONS!
Yes, D R A G O N S !!! Dig it!
But, more on dat later…& the painting that will go with it!

I got the Local Newspaper coming over today to "shoot" my house. Wha? Jeepers Creepers, they must need stuff for the Halloween Issue!
OKAY, I can be painting on my EPIC "Night Marchers " painting in my art studio… set up my "Pumpkin Carving station" out on da' open on da' back Lanai ( with the sweeping View of Kona since today it's not raining!) and….ah…. be working on my "Chef Sam Choy Ink Drawing" out in the Front room area where there's nice light and space.
That's gotta' cover anything they'd want.

If not that, I can pull out all my monster models and toys and do a puppet show of the "Mystery-History of Halloween!"
...all very un-staged and natural of course!


This is my latest Tiki Ink Drawing I just finished up.
