R rodeotiki Member calgary Joined: Jan 21, 2004 Posts: 1513	R rodeotiki Posted posted on Mon, Aug 8, 2005 5:49 PM Thats a great start to this months theme. I am working on a carving but I am also just learning Photoshop. Here is my first attempt at using it. I took a photo of hotrod that I shot at a local show and a pic of one of my carvings . Added some flames and then played with the filters. [ Edited by: rodeotiki 2005-08-08 17:57 ]

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece. Ro-deo, way to jump into Photoshop. My first Photoshop piece featured a saxamaphone. Your's is much cooler.

U untamedhighway Member Littlerock, CA USA Joined: Jul 30, 2005 Posts: 42	U untamedhighway Posted posted on Mon, Aug 22, 2005 11:40 AM Great stuff, everyone. Tiki and hot rod seems like an oxymoron, but on a pop cultural level the two complement each other so well, it seems like a natural combo. Especially the way each of these pieces were executed. Shawn and I are working on a piece right now but I don't know if we'll make the deadline.

They are both all about escaping life and having a good time. 50s rod culture is romanticised the same way as polynesian pop is (eg. American Graffiti). Maybe thats why they go so well. Better late than never!

Here is mine and Shawn's contribution to the Hot Rod Tiki theme. Shawn drew it and I inked it. We wanted to get it posted a.s.a.p., but we are planning on painting it too... Hope you like it!

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Wed, Aug 24, 2005 10:01 AM This was a great subject. Here is a tiki that I did a few months back for a friend. It sits in the "flower pot" on her dash of a convertible Bug. These were done for the local Ferrari dealership to be sold as T-shirts. Not really "Hot Rod" or "Tiki", but what the hell. [ Edited by: AlohaStation 2005-08-24 11:37 ]

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Tue, Aug 30, 2005 7:36 AM Thanks for the compliments everyone. Is there going to be a September Creating Theme?? How about Tiki Self Portraits?
T teaKEY Tiki Socialite The thumb ! Joined: Nov 09, 2004 Posts: 3687	T teaKEY Posted posted on Tue, Aug 30, 2005 8:55 AM tiki self portrait sounds like a good one. I know that it helps to have a constant look for yourself and facial hair helps too. So mine would have thick eyebrows and an goatee.
