Just wanted tho give the ohana a look-see of what I've been slingin' paint at tiki-wise. If you caught the "Psychotikis Are Go" show, you caught a glimpse of an early version on this theme. Here's the group shot of all 5 paintings arranged together for the show.

Poor old Oaf! That brings back some memories. I like the tapas border running perpendicular to the frame - really a nice touch. |

These are really cool, I was hoping you would post some more of them after I saw the brown tapa tiki in another thread. How do the sides work? Are they attached at right angles, or are you using deep box canvases? |

Mahalo for all the kind words! I found out Saturday morning a local collector (during the one preview the gallery gave) made a b-line for the group and purchased the three tikis and is keeping them together. Punchy & Oaf are going home with another collector who bought the set during the opening reception Saturday night. Unfortunately, my duties at Hukilau kept me at the Mai-Kai so I didn't make it to the opening. But it's nice to be reminded that tikiphiles are lurking everywhere!
They're basically wooden boxes. I cut all of the sides with a miter saw, build a frame, and mount the surfaces to the frame. I looked into stretching canvases to get the faces raised, but I do quite a bit of sanding and wood and masonite are really the only materials that forgive the level of abuse I throw at em'. Plus I kinda like the "chunky" feel of the boxes. Click the thumb to visit the gallery's website and see more pics. |

Thanks for the compliments, I've been working quite a bit lately and the interest has been pretty fantastic. The Saturday night grand opening at Harold Golen Gallery (9/8/07) went great! Here are a few NT tid-bits from "Sex & Science" currently at Bear & Bird. These might be fun for the mixology or vintage buffs. This is the "Dr. Cocktail Drink Laboratory": This is the "Robo-coctail Drink Kit": "Sex & Science" show info here. |

Nice work mate! Love the stencil art when it's done to such a high standard! My fave by far is the scientist on the front of the cocktail kit - that guy rocks! |

Mahalo Little Lost Tiki! The Amantia Muscaria piece was a bit of a jab at the smurfs... don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the little buggers. I've just always thought they were part of somebody's psychedelic excursions. Especially when you consider they lived in a cartoon versions of Amantia Muscaria. I was glad to find a smurf wearing clogs a-la the Netherlands. Here's a better image: Lake! Mahalo man, it truly means a lot coming from you brother... that big Punchy is getting all kinds of crazy attention. Who knew so many other people would relate?? Hewey I never would have suspected a "traditional" painter such as yourself to be a stencil fan. Mahalo! There is so much stencil work coming out of Australia that it's an honor just to be compared. I've spent tons of hours trying to break down the walls between stencils and other techniques so the work is looked at for the "subjects" and not just the "craft". Here's another image for ya: Definitely more really soon! Mahalos for all of the comments and PMs!! :) |

Holy flashback! Smokin cool designs..Whatever happened to Punchy? Maybe I don't watch enough Saturday morning cartoons? The studies of Tikis give a modern perspective to an old pop icon. Lots of fun to look at. |
