See, there are issues in your art that need addressing for the sake of the "Illegal pay wages" and or commissions paid out to "Monkey" by you. Let's review this in Illustrated form so we can see the "Evolution of De-Evolution" of "Monkey".... Nice wingtips there Doug! How clever of you NOT to paint your face in this art piece, as not to be incriminated! Oh, He's contemplating something...Maybe a banana or two raise? "Alcohol..The Cause and Solution to all of life's problems..." "Whatever the question is, Alcohol is the answer!" That is bad monkey mentality...very bad mojo indeed! I seen it coming a mile a way! Ok,Ok... my fun and games are over for the night! But I'm watching you Douggy...Keep "monkey" happy, so he doesn't wind up like this!(a 401B plan wouldn't hurt him either) Keep rockin' the art brotha! 5 pieces and counting! I had to edit due to illiteracy...See what happens when you hang around chimps! [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2007-04-26 09:20 ]

Now that you mention it my monkeys all look depressed. Not sure what that's all about. Maybe it's time to go visit a shrink and get in touch with my inner monkey. I have to get these monkey paintings out of my system so I can move on to dealing with my inner armadillo ... I'm seeing a whole new series, armadillos in a mexican cantina.

And can I have some? I agree with what Tiki-Kate said. I'd love to see a 3D mask of the shrunken head swamp creature too. One question - why is the octopus tapping his tentacle? Really love the lighting on the mask drawings too. Awesome as always, Doug. m&m

P Paipo Member Aotearoa / NZ Joined: Jun 22, 2006 Posts: 1886	P Paipo Posted posted on Fri, Nov 16, 2007 5:34 PM Well I tried to post on this thread last night, but was having trouble finding words to express my sense of wonder so I just spent ages looking at the screen with my jaw agape. Having just looked at everything again (several times) I'm still struggling. Everyone seems to have gone creature-crazy round here lately, which is a good thing - I like monsters with my tiki. I dig the little self-referential touches with the grog mug and the drink mats too. I see two great new potential mug designs there , along with the weathered tapa wall behind the shrunken head, which would make a cool shirt. The masks and puffer look like sweet old-school velvet paintings. So, we've had the mugs, the prints, and the guitars...when is someone gonna bankroll the full blown Swamp Fire Lounge? That would have been a better bet for Vegas than the watered-down Trader Vic's they opened... [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-11-16 22:18 ]

T Tabu Tiki Socialite Port Hope, Ont. Joined: Sep 07, 2004 Posts: 142	T Tabu Posted posted on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 6:07 AM Wow. Great new work. The masks are intense and I love the Swamp Fire Lounge digital piece. As a big fan of The Creature I really appreciate the fanboy references here lately. I've been thinking about a small Creature tattoo for a long time and that shrunken head version would make a wicked one. The Creature tiki is an inspiration as well.

Hope he creeped you out real good, see below. Aloha Station, Thanks! Matt Reese, Thanks and sorry your whimpy computer can't handle my giant images. Cheeky Half, Thanks, The octopus still has some live left in him. Morbid I know but hey fresh is always better right? teakey, Monster killing a stake? You lost me on that one, tends to happen alot, me getting lost that is. A pendant would be fun. Tipsy, Thanks, mug who needs another mug? Just say no people, ha. Artasaurus, good eye, I was hoping someone would pick-up on the movie reference. A really bad B Sci-Fi movie with flying brains that choke people with their spinal cords. All in splendid black and white. Tikiwinebear, Thanks! Paipo, Thanks for the kind words. Creature from the black lagoon is in my top 10 movie list. I always thought it would be a great location for the Swamp Fire Lounge. I guess in real life the bartender would have to dress up like the creature ... too Disney? LLT, hey thanks little man with giant hair. Great seeing your work in person at the Bali Hai. I love the giant 4 footer, more my proportions size wise and a great painting. Tabu, Thanks, wow a tattoo would be cool. Great to hear when I have inspired someone to create art. Clarita, Thanks for the comment! Below is a little study sketch of the monkey used in the Monkey business guitar. Sorry Kate.

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Sat, Dec 29, 2007 7:50 PM AWE SOME! I'm still trying to grasp how amazing your "Creature" painting is! It was thrilling to see it in person at the Bali Hai. And, I think I found a clue to a ref to a really cool "water based monster" movie in it. The tentacle grabbing the girl looks sorta like the cover to the DVD for "the HOST". Is it a ref to this nifty flick? U R Da BEST!
SF Swamp Fire Member Long Beach, CA Joined: Jul 31, 2003 Posts: 1203	SF Swamp Fire Posted posted on Sun, Dec 30, 2007 10:18 AM Hey Brad, thanks. I actually saw that DVD box after I did the painting. Was in Blockbuster and was like, man I wish I had seen this before doing the painting, it would have been great reference. When I did the painting I was thinking of 20 thousand leagues under the sea or something along those lines.
