AND if you haven't noticed... they fit a lot more into the Tiki theme than Kustom Kulture... so Nyah! :P :lol:

Just a little bit i can share this week but don't worry... i can feel an art spazz right over the horizon..... Thanks for all your nice comments! What a joy to be able to share these scribblings with friends! GROG-yes it would make a cool tattoo not MY cup of tea,but it would be fun to see it on someone! DOUGHORNE! Thank you! I try to avoid logos and graphic stuff unless the project is compelling or it's someone that's cool and time permits.... cause I'd rather be doing artartart! While i still got the mic... YOU Mr. Giantman have been pumping out some INfrigginCREDIBLE new work with General Ursus,Shrunken Heads,Tentacles,and Hot Oil Moai Lamps... right arm! Pretty soon you'll be closer and we can ARTJAM mo! :) MadDog-got your Christmas card yesterday... Thank you you...are...a...freak.... behave. Monkeyman! Thanks for all dose panels,Derek! I gave Toe two for Christmas but he prefers to paint on car doors i heared... as for the feathers.... nevermind. ruffles have ridges... Spermy- Gracias! it means "the Life Aloha" Lennie's had that name in mind for a loooong time... Mango! Mahalos Man! Back in the Day- doing tees for rusty and HIC we would mimic a lot of art styles... That's where the Art History knowledge came in and it got reeeal fun... Well anyways, Lennie was always drawn to the calaca's/calaveras of Posada so you can see how this became a "let's try to nail posada but keep it kinny" kind of challenge.. i did have some practice with this one... when Hank asked me to do the Invitation art for the TIKOT show... so after getting my balance i was able to tackle and develop the Vida Aloha Girl... la-la-loooove her hipbones holding up the skirt tried to give it a mix of the naivete' of Posada's anatomy yet also making it more correct anatomically but not ruining the original flavor.... Does that make sense? Anyways.... All of you! Get out of my Brain! it's time to show you some new work.... First piece,,, "Waterfall and Palms" acrylic and acrylic cel vinyl paint on 3/4"masonite panel lovingly cut by Monkeyman This is for my bosses for Christmas they likes Palm Trees.. :) Closeup! this one begged for a quiet rhythmic simplicity... i really like it...it's calming.... It's cool that it's starting to come to life... And here's a piece where one can feel new little legs new little outgrowths of a developing style.. kind of exciting.. Here's what i got so far still a long way to go but there's something mysterious and compelling like a secret or an artifact waiting to be unearthed.... Haven't felt the spider sense tingling like that in a while and it's fun! Well, that's it! I'll get nothing done at the studio if i just sit around and type all night! Laters!

Whenever delving into the unknown it's always good to start with the familiar Glad to be able to provide an interesting spot in your day! Didja get that FUNK CD yet,mah man? Eric! How have you been,Art Brother? Mele Kalikimaka to you and Manuel! YOU,Sir, are the Tsunami of creativity! Although sporadic, each time you share work it's a LANDSLIDE of WORK! soooo much! You need to DO MORE collaborations.tobunga! Would loooove to see those! We're sooo lucky to have sooo many inspiring individuals in this scene! Mutual Inspiration Pact goin STRONG! thank you! :) And now..... the goods... Still have a few more days of holiday break before returning to the Meat grinder... Painted up these pretties in the past few days... It's been awhile since i played with some Cannibal themes in this style sooooo..... may i introduce.... "Cannibal and Dessert" 16x20 acrylic and cel animation vinyl on masonite lovingly cut by Monkeyman This one seems a bit more cruel and aggressive than the others.... the psychology of the cannibal may produce feelings of pity, lonliness ,regret,and the like.. But it always boils down to Hunting/Catching/and Eating.. Here's some terrifying close-ups..... Here's one with NO Tiki,but it has some palms in it... "Night and Jungle" 16x20 acrylic and cel animation vinyl on masonite lovingly cut by Monkeyman This one was a bit difficult and I'm not sure if i succeeded on ALL the levels tackled BUT,if anything, it shore turned out purdy.... Flatness and depth movement by use of color/rhythm/and lighting a 2-D image that acieves a wonky 3-D feel abstraction of plants/reflection/depth... and more,much more things your puny human brains couldn't even begin to comprehend.... Here's some details and if you remember hiltiki's observation of there being Paintings within paintings Here is that observation in application..... Roll em! and this last offering is a request from a friend coming down from Utah and a wanting an "owl Painting" I know it's not tiki which is why i painted the Cannibal's Dessert to distract y'alls while i slip in some non-content work for jollies! I promise that whenever i post non-content work that i will offset it with Tiki... Scout's Honor! :lol: Not sure if she wants a Stained Glass Owl but true art flows where it may like a wild horse.... and this is where it took me... Owl 12x12-ish acrylic and cel animation vinyl on canvas That's it for now... Happy New Year!

Coming from a Master,that made me smile! Thank you And Mahalos to all of you who visit,view,and verbalize! and all the wonderful geniuses on this forum! Makes life a bit more interesting..... Here's a lil painting that was cooked up today for a mini exhibition at my friend's Empire Salon in Irvine... Go getcha perm or weave there and zone out on some kinny paintings! :wink: Did this one today while waiting for a certain artist to come by and Artjam today Thanks BigToe! (more like BigSchmo right now....) :( Anyways, while waiting for bratboy to visit i started this lil 14x14 number wanting to make a piece especially for the show... So here it is... first painting of the new year! "Waterfall" Cel Animation Vinyl and Acrylic on Canvas Thought I'd try that approach on the one i did for my bosses but opted for canvas instead and it gave it a different texture... so i went a bit more raw with it.... Here's some close-ups.... That's it! Keg's tapped for now! Talk to y'all soon! Yuck! Gotta go back to work in 3 days.... :(

This is an amazing style you've created. a 2-D with a 3-d effect. Quite wonderful! It blows away most of the stuff I'm seeing in gallerys around Hawaii. and ... thanks to Kenny, now I dragged out my "Hair of the Dog" CD and I'm listening to it while I paint today.

T TikiMango Member Satellite Beach, FL Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 798	T TikiMango Posted posted on Sun, Jan 3, 2010 10:50 PM Both Waterfall paintings are great, but really enjoy the latest one. I think it's the linearity of the waterfalls that contrast so dramatically with the sweeping and angled lines of the surrounding jungles that really draw someone into the painting. Great one (again) sir!

I'll keep squishing if you keep creating! Brad! It's been waaaay fun playing with form and flow and depth.. such a breath of fresh air this playing with a still exciting-to-me style!!! Hook a brother up with some Hawaiian galleries! :) Nazareth RAWKS! Mango-That's half the fun of these pieces treating them as 2-dimensional/decorative/graphic but then playing with the light and shadow and giving them not only a shallow depth (like Indian Miniatures and stage design) but also giving them a strange atmospheric depth... and this latest one... OH MY! I think this one also got some FEELING injected into it.. a sad mournful longing a hint of sad pasts and an awaiting of an uncertain future.... Thanks again you guys! hearing all this encouragement from peers really helps with the "am i really nutso or what?" questions banging around upstairs.... Well, it's 11:23 and i just got home from the studio on my LAST DAY OF VACATION... and i gots ta get a shower and some sleep 'afore work sooo... :( :( :( Before i return to my 4-day a week slavery i thought I'd make a little Moai.... "Awaiting" acrylic and cel vinyl on masonite 16x20 This one is a companion piece to "the Approaching Storm" I'll be sending these to Florida in a few months for the "False Idols" show...That's all i can say...

Can anyone direct me to Clown Central? :lol: "Sad Clown" (working title) acrylic and cel vinyl on 16x20 masonite "Coulorophobia" acrylic and cel vinyl on 14x14 canvas Just Kidding! :lol: These are for Dave's Not Home's Birthday Celebration/Exhibition "Send in the Clowns" at the Gallery DeLa Cruz @ The Green Light Gallery - 1531 N.

He looks so forlorn; like Droopy Boo-hoo!
