Cool stuff! Tiki, tattoos and monkeys! We needed an airbrush artist in here! I dig your tiki action! Whew, that first painting... is it hot in here or what! Or is that me reading into the art. Speaking of hot... FIRE! always remember that if you are depicting a light source in your painting, it has to the lightest/brightest thing in the scene. (I read that in a Tim Hildebrant book and it helped me) I really really like the Head of MU. I'm so into sea gods and tiki mythology and horror coming together in juicy illos! Fantastic!

I really like this one with the 3 guys on the shelf. The bamboo looks like you could reach out and touch it. |

Nice work...You just cook these out so fast! Do you just pencil it in and layer with the airbrush or do you just go for it? Share some o dat magic! |

Wowzers, that is some good stuff to feed the ol eyeballs! I am a long time fan of the airbrush style and you got it down. I dig your natives and the Wahines. The tikis need no comments because thier coolness speaks for itself. I am lookin' forward to seein' more of the goods you are treatin' us too. Chongolio |

little lost tiki- thanks a lot, man. and thanks for the editing tip.-i always start with a sketch of some kind, either directly on the piece or shot on with a projector.the door was traced on with carbon paper. i wish i could crank them out.doesn't feel like i can. priorities,right? yea, then just layer air and paintbrush. right-on for your close observances-thanks, you make the range sound vast.

Greenie, you are really doing some nice stuff, Love the Bamboo's and your 3 cannibals are utterly fantastic. They would be a great advertisement for the local cannibal snack shop: "Greenies Tikis are the BEST, yumm". |

hey Paipo -probably the same as i've been missing out on too many carving threads.thanks, man. yea, the momentos are the tie that binds on this one. and the two bamboo pieces are a first, that depth on the last one are a lucky draw.(i think). thanks, bro. cheers! can't wait to see some of your next stuff! LLT- thanks, man. i was going to leave the back simple, but then realised-WHY? thanks for noticing,it does look good, huh? it's my favorite part. SuburbanP- thanks a lot. they're i bit new for me, but will make many more.I DIG'EM! hey Hewey- fuck it- take a smallish one and just go off on it! it must be the only way. best i can figure anyhow. thanks, mate! |
