You really should be spending more time on what you put in 'em. Underbite looks like an afterthought compared to the frame. [ Edited by: foamy 2006-03-31 05:44 ]
K kirby Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 1601	K kirby Posted posted on 03/31/2006 Hey foamy, both of the last two tikis have been special requests, and in the photo they may look too simple compared to the frame but in person it sets a nice contrast. I have some more detailed tikis that I will be adding to a future frame.. we will see how they compare...

Wish I could see some of this stuff in person. Maybe one of these Sundays you can bring a few to the Lucky Tiki? I will let you know if I can go.just kidding

[ Edited by: foamy 2006-03-31 05:44 ] that's harsh! i requested underbite to match the painting i own, and i'm very happy with the way he turned out.
F foamy Tiki Socialite The Land of Pleasant Living Joined: Jun 15, 2004 Posts: 597	F foamy Posted posted on 03/31/2006 Hey Kingstiedye, really, sorry you feel that way. Do you think it is a reflection on your taste? You think it was harsh? It wasn’t meant that way. It was meant entirely as constructive criticism, which has become glaringly absent around these parts.What is a forum of artists for? For everyone to glad-hand one another? One would think it would be welcomed. I for one would welcome it and in fact, ask for it. No, I just thought that a frame should accent the artwork. Kirby explained it to me and I accept that. Evidently, as usual, it’s just me. If I didn’t respect Kirby and his work I would never have bothered to mention it. I didn’t mean to ruffle anyones feathers. My apologies. Peace.

K kirby Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 1601	K kirby Posted posted on 04/01/2006 I would like to add that I do appreciate your input foamy,and the tips of the trade that we get here on TC from the others is awsome, and is one reason to join in..another reason and I think the most imortant for me, is just plain encouragement to be yourself and create regardless if somone likes your art/compisision/colors/skill level etc...Thats why you probly see mostly possitive things being said in creating...constructive critisim is fine, but can be seen in a negitive way if someone isnt asking for it. I personaly dont mind but its probobly better to address those kind of comments in a pm so its not seen in the wrong way... That said we all have our own opinions on what art should be and what looks good and thats a great thing. But I still agree with bullet...underbyte looks great in this frame....im accualy thinkin of doing more stuff with him...

G GMAN Member My Island Joined: Jul 14, 2005 Posts: 2999	G GMAN Posted posted on 04/02/2006 Kirby, I'm really digging this thread lately; all sorts of craziness going on here! I love it. The new frame looks choice! I can't wait to see it assembled and stained so I can really appreciate what you've done. Have you figured out how to carve/cut one of your headhunters out of wood and get them in a frame like that? Maybe a rough sketch, a little jig saw action, and then some of Kirby's colored brush strokes to create a wooden headhunter/chief to be framed? Hmmmmmm??? -Gman
