The unusual placement and great background depth would make for some splendid textiles. Good on ya.

I have played around with some carving, catching up with a friend of mine Anj & jammie (cheekytiki) & reading through all of the posts on here has really got me inspired. I have about 5 paintings on the go at the moment and another half dozen completed so I will post more pics soon. cheers BoB

Are there many of us? How does the tiki stuff go down with the Sydney public? I'm already looking up the gallery so i can check them out in person.

H hewey Tiki Socialite Sydney, Australia Joined: Sep 14, 2004 Posts: 4283	H hewey Posted posted on Sun, Nov 28, 2004 11:20 PM I love seeing the underwater detail, the way the lighting has been done. I also love that a tiki has been used as an anchor - a subtle observation of society and how it views tiki culture?

I'm thinking in particular of an artist (and I can't remember his name at this moment!) who went through ancient egypt in the late 1800's painting the ruins under gobs of sand with a few small people and camals milling about. That is the image that comes to mind when I see your underwater archealogy type paintings. The mystery of fallen civilizations. I absolutley love them. who ever is fortunate enough to purchase this piece is one lucky art hound indeed. Excellent work.

BP Bobby Peru Member Sydney, Australia Joined: Nov 20, 2004 Posts: 60	BP Bobby Peru Posted posted on Thu, Jun 15, 2006 5:33 AM thanks for the great feedback guys. Kc it really is a beautiful world down there, glad I can bring a little of it to you. Polynesiac, I love art that makes you use your imagination so it is a huge compliment that you find that in my work. Hewey, Its great to be painting again, glad you like it cheers guys Bob
TBBMT tiki beat by marcus thorn Member A Little Island called Australia Joined: Jun 01, 2005 Posts: 724	TBBMT tiki beat by marcus thorn Posted posted on Thu, Jun 15, 2006 11:52 PM About bloody time Bob - does this mean your website will be up to date too!!?? Great stuff! If you catch up with the cheekytiki crew can you pass on my regards - are they venturing up to QLD this time? I had the chance to meet them at my Luau a couple of years ago - it was pretty hectic - but managed to share a beer and have a quick yarn. Love to spend a bit more time with them without the "playing host to the hourds" stress. Back to the paint brush with ya!
