Great piece, foamy - the layers are totally cool. Is there any anti-fedex inthere?!?! I'm very glad that you have the carving too. I love my benzart pendants, so I can only imagine having a HUGE benzart!!!! |

pdrake, it's a pen and ink I did on copier paper in between jobs. Sometimes (rarely now), I get a few hours with nothing to do and I like to draw and doodle and last week had been slack. The art was scanned, and the color was done in PhotoShop (no paints here at work). Thanks tikigap, Matt Reese, McTiki, pd and Sam-I appreciate it. Though, please don't be afraid to be critical, I can use any and all feedback. It helps to have other eyes and input. |

I love it man! Definitely see this hanging in a tiki bar :) I kinda feel like the sky needs some ink to give it a little texture. |

Beautiful work Foamy, as always. I like it because it takes you to other places in your head and it has a very soothing effect. I hope you don't mind, but I'm using it as my wallpaper right now. :) |

Sorry it took so long to get back, but yeah Hewey, I tried some different things but couldn't settle on anything that made me happy or wasn't distracting. Kind'a settled on what you see. And thanks FD, and no I don't mind at all. |

I really love this one Foamy. Nothing better than sailing alone at sunset (or sunrise, whichever it may be), leaving all your cares to the wind and losing yourself in the peaceful power of the Ocean. If you have ever sailed before, you know that you and your vessel are just a speck of dust on the surface of this unbelievably powerful and serene sea. Nice reflections. |

Hey foamy, love the "Last Rays" piece. I like how you cropped in tight and it really captures a moment. You wonder where is this guy going and where has he been. |

Thank you Benzart and SwampFire. That one was kind of fun and I intend to try some more along that line. This is something I've been working on and is intended for iPod skins. Trying to get a series together. |

Hey TG, I'm glad you like it. I apologize for the delay, I've been way off track here lately. I'm finding stuff that should have been taken care of months ago. Not good. Speaking of months ago, someone else requested one of the "Last Rays," and I have lost their e-mails with their name and address. If that person should read this, please PM me again. It's packed and ready, I just need to know where to send it. Again, my sincere apologies. Steve |

Hey foamy - great piece. I really like the mug compositions, the light plays well off of them. But then again, I should expect that from you - your "last rays" is amazing and centers around the play of light. Was this a design you've been tinkering with or was it a commission? |

Hey, thanks GROG, Finky and Hewey. It's been a while. With Winter coming on, I'm hoping to spend more time doing art that I enjoy. [ Edited by: foamy 2006-11-19 09:28 ] |

Hey TG, Sam, thanks you guys. TikiGap, I have a cafepress shop where I post some of my idleness: http://www.cafepress.com/slbradleydesign , it's a bunch of stuff that sometimes sells something every blue moon or so, enough to keep me from paying them. |

Hey, thanks you guys, the dynamic trio! Next to you folks, I just try hard. Yeah, Doug, it's all digital. I can draw better on the machine now than on paper. It's a sad state of affairs (time -wise). No time to play on paper, though I prefer it. As soon as they fire me or I quit (which ever comes first) then I may have some time to use the the ink again. I'll never be your match in Illustrator. I look up to you three, thanks for the comps. |

Hey Pop Tiki, thanks for asking. I haven't done a doggone thing except lose a piece (illustrator won't recognize the damn thing now) that I had been slowly perking for a year or two. Damn near finished it and now it won't open, says it's corrupt. Still hopeful though. The "classics" thing I put on: http://www.cafepress.com/slbradleydesign/381235 if you were interested in a shirt. Working on a pen and ink ocean scenic right now, we'll see if it gets to be worth showing. By the way, I'm waiting to see your next creation. Is a new mug or sculpture in the works? Hey thank you Sneaky, it's not all fun'n games as you read above. I've come to the conclusion that you don't use Gaussian blur in Illustrator. Think I'll follow your lead and use more of the time honored methods (when I can). |

Haven't been posting or stopping by much the past few years. I'm not sure why. However, it is nice to check in again. I should be able to post some new bits here shortly. It's fun to see how folks have come along and who's still here from those days. Lots of great new talent (to me) and all the folks that are still posting have only gotten better. Cheers! This one was done a while ago on a morning with a wicked overhang. Still get them on occasion. [
My last post was 2007? Wow. I know what it was. In '08 I quit work and hopped on my bicycle and rode across the 'States just to see what our country looked like. Great timing. While I was out riding around, the economy tanked and my savings, etc. tanked with it. Fortunately, my old employers asked me back in '09. Been doing the commute ever since.

Thanks. Kinda fun, but I'm really rusty, tiki-wise. Perhaps I can get the pens out this weekend. We'll see. Nice to come in and float around for a while. |
