Those are great...It's nice to see people appreciating the beauty and art of these war clubs..I recognize a Totokia (Fijian beaked battle hammer), two types of Salis (The Fijian club that looks like a gunstock), A Kini Kini (Hawaiian/Polynesian hooked blade club), a Maori "Patu" short club, and a Samoan Nifo Oti, the small hooked spatulate club. Nice paintings... |

hey Irky! could you tell me about the Glicee on canvas vs Glicee on paper? does the canvas one look more painted than the paper versions? is it easier (less expensive)to frame the wood stretched canvases compared to dry mounting the paper prints? or, can you hang the canvas ones, w/o framing? thanks in advance... the curious elicia. ps: very nice work! |

The canvas has a decent textures to it. The Glicee process is very durable and with the glossy finish it just feels more fun. The paper version is a nice poster-ish effect. Its got a similar feel to the prints you get off the line at Disneyland, but a little richer.
One of the advantages of the stretched canvas Glicee is that you can paint the edges with some black acrylic paint and hang as is for a really cool look. I like it this way myself because it definitely goes well in a modern setting. The general idea is that they look like they are generally lit and back lit. The paper prints really to make affordable versions that people who dige them, can afford to give as gifts to their Polynesiana Enthusiast loved one(s). It not neccessary to buy the whole set. You can get the cool images all together in one, or they can line your hallway in full size. The glossy canvas are the way I wanted to do things. If you go to the link below, you can see more details and the originals too.
Thank you very much Elicia. These will be a generally limited run. The hard part about this is that they are really special in person. Here's my website detail for the images. http://www.erichedman.com/ehtikibachelorpadart.htm :tiki:

Heh, really like the weapon prints. I got given a Massim club/sword last Christmas. It's awesome, not sure if it's genuine or tourist but looks the biz. I live real close to the Pitt Rivers Museum, in Oxford just full of amazing artifacts, plus I discovered, in a darken cabinet, a bunch of Massim clubs. Just like mine. Like finding buried treasure, garrrr |
