GROG posted on 11/14/2008

That's some pretty strong crticism there B. Ben. They may not be the BEST artists in the world, but surely they're not CRAP. That would be a Ruzic one-man show, but we've got other GOOD artists in the show to balance it out.

"Hacks out those BambooBen comics with the same tired plots!"

They're so bad that they are funny. Don't change a thing, not that we have to worry :wink: But just imagine if you added the humor of a Ken Ruzic character to the mix.

Great snowman pic up there. You made snow look as if it contained calories.

This just in: We're excited to announce that Tobunga A.K.A. Eric October will also be selling his wares at the Tonga Hut Tiki Wonderland art show. He's a great addition to an already great line up of artists (except Kinny). If you haven't seen Tobunga's art, check out his thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=28069&forum=18&start=75

Just got word from Jeremy that DJ Lee will be there pumping out the jams.

So, we've got art, we've got tunes, and we've got alcoholic drinks and friendly people to drink them with. Sounds like a good Saturday night to GROG.

Grog, I am sorry I will miss your fine Tonga Hut party. You always put together such a good time! I'll still be in Vegas that night. But, the snarky postings between you, Ken and Ben (the "Crap" ones) have me laughing harder than I have in weeks. xx Kari

Those paintings are great Ken. Do you want to display your self portrait I bought from you that I have hanging over my fireplace? I hate to part with it but it is art that must be shared with the world .Have a great turkey day and I loved you on the gameshows in the 70's. "Matchgame" was my favorite .

Wow, all this cool velvet art... makes me feel bad about my boring non-velvet work...

Well, here's some pix of new stuff I'll have at the show... I can't wait for showtime, but I really need the time to finish up some other stuff that I hope to debut that night!

This is a little box that I painted with tapa cloth designs. I made three little lino-cut prints of tiki faces to go in the window. (I couldn't decide which one of the three to make, so I made them all)

This is a set of buttons based on the March Of The Tiki Gods painting I did.

Hopefully, I'll be able to post more stuff soon!

Yay Tonga Hut!

I was upset about having to miss this because of work but after seeing the poster I will be there to see this for myself. Thursday night for Tiki Bar TV and back Saturday for... Hey, whatever you two want to do... I mean...
But really I am going for the art.
