Since y'all seem to like the concept sketches, it's time for Squidoodles, little scribbles I keep doing for no apparent reason. I like this one enough I think I'll do a large version. This one's only about 3" x 5". More as I do them and find old ones. Enjoy! Maybe Tiki Shark should just paint this one and save me the trouble!!!! Hello BRAD???????

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 1:17 PM Squid, that's awesome! I'd paint it, but I could never do it justice - (I'm just a hack still learning to paint.) That is an interesting deeper meaning. Are we swiping plundered cultural bootie? Of course, if you leave your defunct religious cultural icons just laying around where anyone can get to them, and you don't seem to be really doing much with them your self, who's to say it's not up for grabs? Mostly here the reaction to my tiki art, here on da' Big Island, is one of amused enjoyment. It's sad how few tikis you see around here! I think Hawaiians are happy to see a decent reference to old Hawaii and not have this place succumb to Californication.

I totally see the side of reviving the defunct cultural icons. Valid and appreciated as you say. But I also see it this way: Who caused (or forced upon them, politely or otherwise) the adaptation of new religious doctrines? The same ethnic group (mostly) that is currently exploiting their original belief system. I'm not saying it's all a bad thing but self-examination within the "movement" is not a bad thing either. I may have crossed into tabu territory here, but it does deserve discussion. And I was just scribblin' a silly picture... Liz- Thanks for the kudos! I like them lil' bastards too :)

We celebrate our pillaging i mean...look what happened to art when the ROMANS conquered the GREEKS ART flourished BUT! THE REST of the culture became corrupted and filled with libations and debauchery and eventually brought the whole thing down! BUT the art remains beautiful and inspiring and M-MMMMM GOOD!

Those two are just SCREAMING 3 dimensional plastic injection molded figures. (Hey - uhm ?!!)
T tobunga Tiki Socialite Joined: Apr 12, 2008 Posts: 1235	T tobunga Posted posted on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 7:20 PM I agree with TikiG... Those two would be great as model kits, like Silly Surfers or Weird-Ohs! And Squid, those pendants are AMAZING!!! What material is that?
S squid Member Joined: Sep 30, 2002 Posts: 1462	S squid Posted posted on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 8:31 PM Hey G! I love those Marx Nutty Mads and Weird-Ohs. I have a few stashed in my Hot Wheels and Lance Link lunch boxes!! I'd love to make stuff like that but injection-molding tooling is in the tens of thousands... sigh Tobunga! And model kits would be fun too. I put out a couple of resin garage kits in the 90s. Hmmmmm.... You guys are both instigators!!! The Cannibal pendant is wax. The Rarotongan on the right is wax and one on the left is a resin cast from the wax version. I'll have some pics of the finished cannibals tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for stoppin' by!
