i did get to finally meet and feel my TikiFarm Cannibal king mug at the Art of Tiki exhibition (after a frazzling 2.5 hour book signing)!

Very nice, love them all. You should do a book with all the drawings.
That is in the works.. I've been gathering up all my landscape sketches and plan on compiling them into a book,so your request has been acknowledged and answered! :)

I always love your stuff but "Stealer Of The Flame" is just fantastic. I love that so much.
Mahalo Hopechest! That was one of my favorites of the batch as well! The ones that have a lil bit of mischief always stick in my mind long after they've been adopted!

Simply astounding, so much creativity bursting forth. SO MUCH! Wow.
Yeah Prikli,it gets annoying sometime,but waxes and wanes like any cycle, it's just when it "hits", one must ride that bronco til all the ideas are shook off onto the sketchbooks to become paintings if and when the time is right...it makes me happy that i can take people to other places...

Thank you MaukaHale/ I will make an effort to post more frequently. Sometimes the fever hits and i must follow and submerge myself in pure art for a spell.
