Damn that's sweet, RT! So that's what happens when blood is offered??!! I like the whole layout. The face around the eyes reminds me of a chopper style cross. The board looks really clean too. |

Hey rodeo...I was just down at a surf shop in Hermosa (ET "just longboards") and noticed that they had a very small resin version of one sorta similiar to yours. I think I've seen it on the surfing trophies too? Is that where you go the idea? I think yours is TOTALLY AWESOME with the north woods rodeo distinctive stylin'!! and he looks pretty big too- about 2 feet? or bigger? is this one for you or is it goin' to a surf shop? Nice work, looking forward to your next update

Thanks everyone for the super kind words . Ben, Raffer . I am just trying to keep up to you guys . The bar has been set pretty high here lately. Flacookz, Surprisingly it isnt top heavy at all. Its just under 12 inches at the base in diameter. Polynesiac, The idea did come from a old surfing trophy. I believe there is a pic in BOT and I saw one online somewhere once. TikiG , thanks for the comps. Who ever wins your surf trophy will be one lucky dude. Im just trying to catch up with your skills. Sam , Tikiwahine , Herby , Fezape, Gman , Kirby, AA and everyone else Thanks. Here is a little update from the other days session.

Raffertiki, Nice board!! You know, high end wooden surfboards sell for serious bucks to collectors over here on the W. coast. Great tiki, I love the way you are always striving for something new and different it keeps things interesting. Will |

Rodeo, we've never seen this side of your art. The sketch is way cool! I like the bug-eyed hot rod dude near the bottom... and the Gambino influenced tiki in the middle. I can relate to that one! |

Hey Rodeo, I Need one of those. Does he come with his own tools or do I have to let him use mine? Does he already know how to carve, or do I have to teach him? Does he need to be oiled and recharged often and how long is his warranty? Nice job on this guy Rodeo. |

Cool sketch rodeo! Painting ideas? How do you come up with ideas for carving? I reckon the process is the same...
Have a go! |

I like it he reminds me a little of Plankton...who I adore! are you looking for technical tips? if you cover the back of your sketch with graphite ( use a soft pencil like a 2B-4B) you can transfer the sketch onto the canvas by going over it with a hard point...like a pencil or pen..alternativly if you want to keep your sketch pristine, use tracing papaer..trace your image , you can leave out details, the rub the graphite on the back of that and tape it to your canvas and again trace over the lines with a hard point to transfer it to the canvas. well thats how I like to transfer...but again I'm not sure if thats the kind of information your looking for.are you wanting painting tips per se' ? |
