Nice work! The one at the tonga jut looked great! It looks vintage which is a tough look to achieve. Keep it up.

RH

She BURIES Rachel Welch. That much is for sure.

Jason - show us some studio pics or something like that. Maybe the view out the window. I always wonder what others see.

How cool we get some of your velvets and Claudette's sculptures in 8Days! :)

Can't Wait!
Too Great!

Cheers Gents! Always a pleasure to have you guys stop on by.

Mahalo tiki tOny! That's what I was trying to go for. Glad you think
I got close. Love your unique style!

Robb! It's funny I was just talking to tikiyaki about Rachel Welch the other
day. I beg to differ though. In her heyday, she was pure dynamite! She
buries all!

Yeah, will take some studio pics soon. Right now it's break neck speed
til TO!

Kinny! And all those LLT treasures you've been jamming on!
Should be fun!

So I got three velvets in various stages of completion (and undress :D).

This one...

This one...

and...

Now to channel LLT's firepower to get them done!

Mahalo!

You said it Robb! While it's breaking me down! :)
But I love every minute of it. Velvet Masochist!

Time for some drinks!

Nice monkey :D

Claudette is more understanding than my wife is; she made me get rid of my penis gourd mug because it was too risque. Actually, I think she was afraid I would serve a drink in it to a dinner guest and tell them later what it was :lol:

You're too much Mike!
At least you can wear it when guest come over right?
:lol:

Jason, what happened, did you put this gorgeous girl on the back burner, in favor of the full-frontal girl?

You guessed it Bill! She'll be back on the front
burner now. Thought the nude would take a little
more time to do, so I worked more on it first.

Next progress pic, almost done, needs tweaks and highlights
etc...

Hey Mike! Got a title for me?
Fire away bruddah!

Hmmm, have to think about that. Something about the look on her face, like a happy memory. The word satisfied comes to mind, but somehow that seems lewd and lascivious on a nude :)

I'll await your innuendo laden title Mike!
Cheers!

Back on this one....colors off.

You are too funny leleliz! I was debating on
whether to put a pareu on her, but noticed
Leeteg did a lot of nudes...so I changed my mind.
Hope it's subtle though.

She will be wearing a flower soon!
So she won't be completely in the buff. :)

Your nudes are perfect Jason. Don't change (or add) a thing! This post/thread/topic is definitely of my favorites, if not my favorite. I love to see what you're doing, progress pics, etc. I will own one of your paintings . . . one of these days!! I WILL!!

Mahalo Danno! I really appreciate your comments.
So a big thumbs up on the nude one. Ok Cool.
Look forward to you getting one of my velvet
pieces on your wall too. Cheers!

This one is almost done. Now it's time to juggle these last three
velvets and finish them tonight. Need time for framing.

available in the Fluff Suite at TO.

Mahalo!

HJ

Tokana Ki'i, they are beautiful. Thank you for sharing and congrats on your artistic abilities. You are truly both gifted and practiced.

Cheers Haole Jim! Thanks for stopping by and for diggin
my stuff!

Well, we had a blast at our first Tiki Oasis! Even if we didn't
see much but our vending suite. Sold lots of fluff and most of my velvets.
To my surprise!

I didn't get a chance to finish these last three, but popped them
in a frame and brought them anyways. Time to pop em out and finish them!



Next time we'll bring some help so we can enjoy more of the parties!
And shop and drink!. Thanks everyone who came by to hang and say hello.
Great to put faces with TC names.

Many Mahalos!

Nice work.

Jason where are you? What are you doing? Do have some new art for us?
Dont wear your new shoes in the creek jason.

Aloha!

Been a while since my last post!
Thanks guys for the comments and all!
Been doing some velvet commissions that are
"copies" of previous paintings I've posted.
Kinda like Leeteg did. So I didn't want to be
redundant and post them all again. This one being
the exception since it's a lot bigger than the first
one I did.

Sketch

Velvet

Here's a sketch I'm gonna paint soon.

Also, I posted this under Tonga Hut Thread in Locating Tiki a while ago.
Might as well post it here too. These are 4 velvets I painted for them.
Mahalo Jeremy and MP! Colors off some.

Mahalo!
