Also love the tarot-inspired invite, but I've got a thing for skulls & cannibals. Nice to see your Last Judgment piece again, I've coveted that piece from the moment I first saw it. Amazing work my friend. We hope to see you soon. Laura

Hermit-mode 12-hour days for 3 days in the studio is GOOD! YAAAAAAAAAAY! G-Thanks my friend! been called a lot of things,but never a MONSTER! :lol: thy proper term is MACHINE... an ever-toiling,ever seething,soulless assemblage of cold metallic parts bent only on creating art.... marshmallow ground sounds YUMMY! :) Haven't thought of the kid's book in a while.. it requires something called SPARE TIME been trying to collect up some surplus for the past few years it'll happen... maybe i'm already finished with it but decided to hold it back til the movie and licensing deals come thru... or not! :lol: AND-EEEEEEEEE! thanks mang! a couple of more weeks,brother! :) Been blessed with productive happy creative time lately... Skeletal Moais..... got a few studies for them in the sketchbook... will have to develop them soon.... Mango-stoked you like the Polynesian take on the Tarot.... mahalos for the niceties! It's going to be exciting to see what the other artists do with this theme.... All these different heads and hands geared towards one common goal..... ya gotta love it! :) Bowana....okay!okay! just a few more lines of type.... Java Loa- Thank you for the enthusiasm,Laura! The piece does look sooo much more ALIVE in person..... i think it's cause the energy is still embedded in there! If you and the hubbster are around or in Orange,Cali ,in the next week you can come visit it....it'll be there,keeping me company until it gets shipped! It was real fun to re-approach the Last Judgement theme especially from a different angle.. hope to see you chillens soon! :) Well,this is strange..... ken usually never replies to posts until he has something new to show.... Why is he replying to everyone now,right after they post? That's something Clysdalle would do,not kinny! :lol: Well, actually,my friends.. i DO have something new to post..... a COLORIZED up version of the DEATH card... Black and white is soooooo 2008! so here it is.... WAS just gonna tint it with a sepia BUT..... somehow, a big lump of burnt umber acrylic from the previous day got stuck on my forearm without my knowledge and it was 1/2 way dry before i discovered it had smeared on the bottom half of the drawing! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! So..... I just did a few washes and splashes and spatters and gave it an old looking base and precede to wash the other colors over it.... two words....GOOD SAVE! phew! so here it is,in all it's splendor awaiting a frame.... This guy is influenced by three things.... 1)Le Mort card 2) Posada and his Calaveras 3) the skull glyphs from the Codex Nuttail(sp?) (the skull glyphs are probably the same in the other remaining Codexes but i looked thru that one....) That is all! Thank you! MAW!

'cause that would be cool. I'm also loving the "night of the falling stars" painting, but I've always been a "sucker" for a good cephalopod painting.

Thank you Slacks Robb Mike Bill and Rick! Cephalopods and Tarot cards... the people demand them! :lol: Personally, i WON't be working on a whole deck of these unless i can get a sugardaddy to pay my salary for 1/2 a year! Hank SHOULD release a whole deck based on the show but again...these things cost money and a much more valuable commodity...time! Anyways...idle hands are the devil's playground so i kept em busy with this.... an altered study of one of my favorites from the SDMA Oceanic Arts exhibition... "Aripa Female Figure" ink and water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper that's it! I'm outta here! Thanks for visitin,gang!

So for Hodadhanks Super Spook-tacula tiki-Tarot Art show you drew the DEATH CARD! IT's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!! Whow-zer! AND YOUR FREAKING FINISHED ALREADY! I'm still thinking about how to vaguely visualize my card (I drew the Magician-yippee my favorite major arcana tarot card!) Is till gotta go get a 20 x 10 canvas. Or is this a colored sketch for the final version of the Death Card? If so, it's damn beautiful! a VERY cool take. I see you're using the RIDER Deck for inspiration. OK, I can swing with dat too. Jeeze! I can't believe you're done ALREADY!

Still recovering from post-show exhaustion? Doesn't sound like it....I expect that magician to be finished by monday! :) ACTUALLY, i DID NOT get the Death card! I got the Judgment card! I'm doing the invite/announcement and hank thought that DEATH would be the most iconic of the cards,,so we went with that.... I originally was gonna do one of them photoshopped fliers but it was difficult to have Death astride a MOA..the elements just didn't match up unfortunately... So...i got's to do 2 cards! Whatever happened to those cards that YOU did? It'd be cool to see them,as my memory is a bit smokey,these days... :) Am VERY eager to see your take on the Magician... One of the main attributes of your work is that Magical,Mystical feeling.... and the DEATH card is actually from an olde-timey French deck...Le Morte the Rider-Waite deck has him on a horse,with a king lying under/behind the horse with some people and a waterfall and stuff... The old timey card lent itself to a Posada/Aztec Glyph meets EARLY Durer woodcut not later,but the cruder earlier woodcuts of his.... now get thee back to that easel,buddy! :) On 2009-09-30 18:25, MadDogMike wrote: On 2009-09-29 08:46, little lost tiki wrote: ...somehow, a big lump of burnt umber acrylic from the previous day was stuck on my forearm without my knowledge...

Some "school" nights, i stay at the studio til midnight/one AM Being only 3 miles from the studio,by the time i leave, sleep is slowly creeping and conquering...2 out of 3 times, I just brush my teeth/wash the ciggie smoke from my face and neck and slither into bed...exhausted .... and then it's up at 6:45 to repeat the whole thing after a day at work... Usually, the forearms and hands are covered in ink and paint kind of an art tattoo.... That burnt umber was due to my cramped table area whilst working.. Note to self... if you're not using the acrylic,then put all the stuff aside.... :) Hey Duddy! Glad to see you back around town! Thanks all y'alls! Well, you all know the rule.... no replies unless i have something new to share... Well, here it is... Started at hank's Chop,finished recently... "Maori Rapa Nui Seahorse" (weird title-weird concept...dunno if i totally like it or not...) ink and colored pencil on Aquarelle paper Just another in a long line of Seahorse pieces.. here's an earlier one McDonnell-Douglas Mechanical Seahorse acrylic and paintpen on surfboard That is all!

A commission that's been sitting for MONTHS and a couple of drawings! All for you to peruse and enjoy! "the Sea Monster" acrylic and cel animation vinyl on masonite Let me tell you... Cel Animation vinyl is the SHIZZLE! i can dip my brush once and paint a solid line 4 BLOCKS LONG! It's like enamel without the smell and mess Easy Cleanup too! two thumbs up! This is based on a drawing i did awhile ago.. "the Surprise" the patron wanted it on masonite sooooo..... 8 months later.... Here's some details of this poor travelers... i changed them back to the standard Moai 'cause they're so cute! the great beast's tail... Decided to give the Sea Monster more movement to give him a sense of surrounding the moai boys.... AAAAAAA! Dropped me Oar! a close-up of the sea monster.... And Speaking of Moais... I just paid and downloaded a copy of Mr. Teitelbaum's "Big Stone Head" e-book and Man! Well worth it! Only $6.95-that;s the cost of a pack of smokes or a drink in a bar! More Reading! Less Smoking and Drinking! and a great read so far! and soooo many images and soooo much art including my boyhood Hero Jack Kirby and personal heroes Heather Watts and Squids and Gecko and .........etc.... and yours truly has a pair of moai images i there too! Thanks James! What a great job! Got those 2 drawings for the TIKOT-tiki tarot show all framed up nice resting on papyrus under glass in a shadowbox frame.. classy! :) Here's the first version of the flyer for the show.. it may evolve.... "the Ghost Ships" tissue paper stain,ink,gold ink.water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper these guys were inspired by these haunting figures on a Fiji/Tongan necklace... i rendered their eyes and grass skirts in goldso it shimmers when you pass.... "the Stare" tissue paper stain,ink,sharpie,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper close-up Here's a drawing i started a few weeks back at the Chop at HodadHank's.. "the Drum" tissue paper stain,ink,sharpie,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper Here's a close-up of the figure on the boat... Here's the strange underwater creatures... and a reeeeal close-up of the drum.. Not sure of the narrative on this one.. the stacked figures were inspired by the stacked figures on Hawaiian drums and here's my favorite drawing of this weekend jag... "Entrance to the Cannibal's Home" tissue paper stain,ink,water-soluble pencil on Aquarelle Watercolor paper This one was asking for a dense humid jungle strewn with skulls and bones and strange faces peering out thru the vegetation.. the funnest part of this one was playing with the angles and parts of these stylized skulls.. how's that for a pre-Halloween vibe? Well, i hope these make you smile and examine and dream! Have a great one Ohana! :) Dinner is Served! http://www.kenruzic.com http://www.myspace.com/kenruzicdotcom http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=19904&forum=18&start=0 [ Edited by: little lost tiki 2009-10-05 08:18 ]

All HAil Naples and their yellow! love you! :) seagoat-Thank you kindly for the nice encouraging words! YES! There are some more undersea projects in the slow-cooker so check back every once-inna-spell and there should be some newbies fer ya! Well, Monkeyman received the Sea Monster for his future Tiki Room and part of the payment was some 16x20 boards for me to paint on..... JOY! His hut is too cool! I hope he has more CHOPS there! Thanks Derek! aaaaaand there was another trip to the Art Supply Warehouse for Seattle supplies and some more Cel Animation Vinyl.. (BTW-let Clysdalle try it at the CHOP and he seemed intrigued... Maybe we can wean him off enamels before his brain rots any more..:lol: ) i grabbed a few more colors... They're helping to wean me off of paintpens,, the xylene is making me crazy(ier)... Plus it's a nicer line...thicks and thins.... Well,Here is the Painted version of "Outside the Cannibal's Hut" but this time, the story takes a twist.... a whole new narrative emerged.. May i present.. "the Hecklers" acrylic and Cel Animation Vinyl on thickazz masonite The story for this one is about a brave little shield strolling thru the jungle down an unknown path.... He's a little scared,as there are skulls and ribs and pelvises and spines scattered in the undergrowth... and then he gets heckled by some of the skulls but he just ignores them and continues his journey. the end.... :) I like this composition by itself... it's really a blast playing with shapes/depth/color/mood! YAY! Here's a close-up.. i did an acrylic base for the color fills then painted the blackline then proceeded to build up the lights and shadows with diff colored washes and then went back over the blackline and added the final pop highlights.... That's it for today! love ya! mean it!

Be careful, every chemical has it's own lure and addiction! :) See you Friday! Or NOT! Take a break, you maniac! You ARE "The Ruzic" you know! It just fits! Can I coin a phrase or what? :lol: XO, KvT

How cool that work is now a permanent fixture at the Tonga Hut! Well deserved and Wildly Appropriate! Thanks for the blanket AWESOME! :) Right back atcha!

Thanks fer the visit,Madame! :) How was the Shane on Friday Night? lovin those evolutionary jumps in style.. Half-purposeful half "lightnin in a bottle" That piece called for more monochramiticism (izzat a werd?) because a dark dank jungle path requires it! No fumes on the Cel Animation Vinyl! Soap and Water Clean-up too! I hope Clysdalle takes a likin to that as enamel is waaaay too stinky! and turpentine clean-up? shudder! "the Ruzic"... sigh.... :) Got a visit from the indomitable TikiG on Saturday... he came to see the studio,rap about some art geek stuff and to adopt "After hours" for his hut! Being a hermit it's so nice to receive news of the outside world from fellow artists! Thanks Greg! :) Well, here's a new painting from the week... working title: "the Fishing Trip" (acrylic and cel animation vinyl on masonite) but may change it... the narrative appears to crave development... elaboration... something more.... i wandered from the usual pallette a bit.... for mood...for fun.. Here's some details... the boat and the prow and some of the accompanying fishies.... You can observe here the fish face and the sail.. the whole fish body with some hatching to give it texture... the volcano and the background landscape... the right-hand background island and a suggestion of a village... I have two more drawings,at least,to document for you and will when time allows! Until we next meet...

I'll be sure to spread some of it around Ohana-Style in Seattle! We'll be flying out on Thursday! And will be exploring the Upper NorthWest unless we encounter some horrific airline tragedy... and then y'all will regret that you didn't buy as many LLT paintings as you should have.. Seriously tho, if i croak contact Mrs LLT via PM and buy something so she can afford to bury my ashen corpse! :) Anyways,on this 150th page and last art posting before above-mentioned tragic airline disaster i will post my four last pieces for y'all to remember me by! :) First painting "the Cannibal's Brunch" Cel Animation Vinyl on thick Masonite This medium dries very fast so building up the shadows was a breeze and the final highlights were opague and perfect! YAY! Close-up of dat tongue! lalalalalaaaaaaaaa! My favorite part of this piece is the sweet way the victim grasps his attacker's thumb... "Melanesian Melody" sharpie and ink on Aquarelle watercolor paper This one was inspired by the melanesian Shield book from the freaky Boutiki! Get Yours today! :) "the Moai King's Council" sharpie and ink and water soluble pencil on Aquarelle watercolor paper I decide to let my Magical Fish sneak into the narrative again.. This time as an important ambassador of the fishes...or something! Here's the Moai King discussing important matters ... Dig the Crazy Drummer! and here's something that definitely is NOT tiki but Hey! If Clysdalle can post non-tiki stuff every other day i should be able to post something non-tiki every once in a while,eh? "Elephant and jungle" cel Animation Vinyl on masonite I've always loved elephants in art and in real life their mostly gentle nature their intelligence their sense of community even the instances where they deal out some justice to an abusive trainer.. So there you have it,, my last possible entry.. Thank you Ohana it has been a pleasure to meet and chat and laugh with you all... :)

Well,Ro... This is one of those stories where after years of putting it off and half-heartedly listening to fellow artists there it was! right there around the corner from the ink brush pens and stuff at the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster waaaay down from the acrylics there it was! so i bought some.... Paintpens are good to finish a piece's blackline fast but the line width is something that needed 2-3 passes to get that thick thin look with acrylics it's not always a solid line so it was dip-paint-dip-go back over Carpal-Tunnel friendly technique there! :lol: whereas a paintpen.... no dipping the lines with Acrylic were 1/2 opaque-half/transparent BUT! Cel Animation Vinyl dries Matte dries fast and you can load a LOT of paint on a brush and unlike enamel you can clean your brushes with soap and water.... Bought about 6 new colors last week and was quite pleased with how they CAN work with acrylics quite well mixing-wise... i think the technique of acrylic underpainting thru washes slight washes of Cel Animation Vinyl then... 3 seconds after it's dry a nice opaque blackline and some opaque "poppy" highlights... Second query.... What's with the masonite? Well.... Monkeyman commissioned a painting and so as part of the payment He cut 11 16x20 panels of masonite whilst visiting at the CHOP! He is the Clown king of Tools! Of course, Toe was there and mooched 2 panels So he owes me those.. (Hopefully, he'll paint something purdy on em...) Oh yeah... and a surfboard... almost forgot about that... and close to $10 for that Honkin tube of Naples Yellow.. Watch that guy if you lend him something GET IT IN WRITING! :lol: What a MAROON! :lol: so, if said airplane crashes on the way TO or FROM Seattle i would like one of those 2 panels to contain a commemorative LLT portrait Have him give that surfboard to Clysdalle so he can practice on it and get good someday... :lol: and the $10 can be split amongst the 1-3 people who weep at the funereal... That is all! luv ya mean it! :)

I was personally invited to Kinny's studio and yeah, its a museum albeit a crazed-beatnik wonderland of multiple-personality manifestations. I felt right at home there. Looking around I realized this guy is truly light-years ahead. Ahead of what? - I'm still trying to figure that one out :wink: All of Kinny's art I saw, in person, has a certain charm, wonder and mystique about them that's difficult to describe unless you see them up close in-person. Most have the classic Ruzik stained-glass feel to them, which is what I expected. Other works shot a WOW! bolt from my cerebrum as I stood face to face, in awe, with THOSE panels. But when Kinny brought out some hidden portfolios filled with art the jig was up. The stuff I saw in those portfolios prove Kinny is a mod wizard of color, texture, storytelling and technique. Fantastic! To spend time with this wizard talking art, talking technique and just plain talking trash...it all adds up to a glorious afternoon never to be forgotten. Before I forget to mention your description of me as 'indomitable' in a prior post is much appreciated, I want to say Thanks Kinny for being a gracious host. Till next time...
