I really appreciate the obsessive quality of your work. It comes off as work the artist HAD to get out of his system. I also like that you experiment, rather than getting in a rut. |

Thank you VampiressRN! just a few changes from the big ink study... and gave him some hair and feathers.... i like how it's Polynesian,but also alludes to the classical roman archetype of a warrior I'm doing this canvas in acrylic and MAY or MAY NOT use paintpen with it.... here's the paddle attached to the boat...just started on this area Humorous intermission.... At first i thought that this would lead to an uncomfortable situation a Hawaiian Warrior! end of Humorous intermission.... Back in march i started this porthole piece
Corner guy! Center guy! and the middle part I've just started... Well, that's all i got......except the yawns..got lots of those! |

The Guardians of the Plumeria porthole piece has a very Disney feel to me. Like it should be painted on the ceiling of the Enchanted Tiki Room. And I mean that in a good way - Disney is often my high water mark for craftsman ship when it comes to art. |

I would have guessed, based on your art, that you are very young, but you've made it clear that you know who the really cool older artists are (Roger Dean, Rodney Matthews, and, I think, Alfonse Mucha). Do you know Ron Cobb, Syd Mead, or Chris Foss? |

Aloha Kidz! Details! "the Journey" second canvas....coming along.... working more on "fleshing him out" and slowly working on the transparency... got the shields started in the sky too! "Love Dove " Hawaiian Warrior finished! LOVE! sigh! also did a lotta drawings!Squid came over for an Artjam on Saturday! WHEEEEEEEE! In fact I'll be bringing a clearview folder of these to hukilau to barter with artist and Ohana..... "Celestial vehicle" spirit hook influenced...a rehash from the Arrival piece.... "Arrival of the Sun" "Cave of the Night creatures" PNG inspired also! "Happy hut and friends" "the Sun calls a meeting at midnight" "the king in repose" is that even a word? "Moon Rider" a little bright and happy-but hey! PNG inspired work can be mysterious and Happy....i guess.... "Outside the Village" "Spaceship of the Polynesian Exploration PARTY" "the Lone Hut" "Salutation" More shields! and two shield abstracts! also went to the library with the stepkid and got the MOTHERLODE!
and lotsa front/side/back views! tons of life and personality!
Decided to draw a scenario where ALL of them arrive at the island before the Polynesians... GO BUY THAT BOOK! It's a BIG'UN! Well, that's it for now...Hope to see a lot of you at Hukilau!

Fantastic Visit at Hukilau both you and Terrill(?) are such Sweethearts. Of course you are a bit WAY over the top which makes you the Best at what you do. Mrs BenZart and I really enjoyed our time with you and all your art and it is strange how that Maori piece of yours just followed me home, wouldn't take No for an answer. It seemed like it took forever but we Finally got to sit and talk face to face, thanks for all the inspiration and Energy you pass along. My Hukilau was complete, HappyHappyHappy |
