Five volcanoes in one painting was not enough - so I put seven (yes, 7!) Size: 60 x 80 cm / 23.6 X 31.5 in The painting is not quite finished (maybe it needs another volcano or two...), (One of these days I am going to get around to offering prints.) |

Some guy told me a South Sea legend that there is an island where giant fish walk around drinking cocktails with lots of fruit and paper umbrellas in them. So I painted it. Painting is 80 x 80 com (about 31 x 31 inches) |

kctiki: thanks for the comment - I had to go look up what an "ocarina" is. These birds I painted probably do make a very nice song. I have a few more bird canvases I have painted and will try to post them here. Tiki Duddy - I like the volcano paintings, too. I also have a bunch of them that aren´t Tiki related that I have done - in fact just finishing up a painting of a woman sitting at a table sipping red wine and looking at three volcanoes blasting away in the distance. The painting is titled, "Another Day, Another Volcano". Volcanos in a painting add a new dynamic of action and far away exotic danger. little lost tiki - Thank for the compliment. That´s one of the reasons most people say they buy my art; they like the colors and the humor in the paintings. One time a woman came up to me at an art show opening and said she had bought one of my paintings several years ago and she hung it in the kitchen so that every day she can get an early smile and laugh at looking at the painting; it starts her day off right. Regarding your question if I get to paint everyday - yes, just about every hour of every day and night I paint. It´s been my full time "job" (plus doing freelance illustration work) for the last 11+ years (I used to do it part time while holding a full time job) - and my wife is the full time manager of my art business. |

Toonz, I Really love this "Late for the Luau". It reminds me of my sister when we were growing up as she was Always late and had that frantic "I'm late, get outta my way" look on her face. Your girl on the other hand is ready to Partee. Nice stuff. |

I bought a new type of clay to try out and decided to sculpt a couple of small tiki-like figurines. Here is the first one (three different views):

Flounder - thanks for compliments on my paintings; I keep practicing hoping to improve. Here´s my 2nd reason why I should stick to painting:
Besides having no talent to sculpt I guess I should try working with a larger piece of clay. This guy is only about 1.5 inches tall. Tough to get some quality shaping in this small amount of clay using the kitchen knife I use to carve the Thanksgiving turkey and a 14" inch-long, flathead screwdriver. |

Hey Toonz, I like seeing your posts, and agree that your art has improved from being kooky and fun, but now also more whimsy and character about it. Do you know Jim Woodring's art? Also, I think your sculpted pieces are interesting. I quite like the lack of Symmetry, and their roughness...and think something like them about 2 or 3 feet high made of more course clay (Grogzilla or Sculpture Raku)or colored concrete would be fetching. Also the back of the head having a design is interesting, and makes me curious about the entire piece. Making the Jump to 3-D is hard...I think you should take it further. Cool stuff!

Grog - Yeah, the two sculptures are very...uh....unique, to say the least. They look a little better in person; they look a LOT better hidden in a box in the closet. :) My day job is creating paintings (same as my night job) so I can´t quit that. (But then is creating art a job?) Gigantalope - Not only do my sculptures lack symmetry, as you say, but a whole lot of other things as well. :) Oh well, practice makes perfect. (Or I need to find someone that can sculpt that can bring my 2D ideas to life.) One has to have a different eye for doing 3D work than creating a 2D painting. |

Considering the size and crap tools - they arent too bad. Did you make perfect paintings the first time you picked up a brush? If you're having fun, keep at them and they will improve. :) |
