Aloha Friends!
I will post all of my Tiki work here in a semi-chronological order...
There are soooooo many of them that i will post new ones every couple of days until caught up!
Viewing this as a chance to clean up the art files at the homefront
i will be thanking you all by posting studies/sketches/never before seen artwork and concepts
to accompany certain pieces....As well as sharing pieces that got lost in the pile....
Feel free to ask any kind of question about the work here...
BUT.....if it's a HOW to question
Ask it in the Other Crafts thread
and i may produce a photo tutorial JUST FOR YOU! :)

All pieces here will be listed as such...
Title-medium (acrylic on canvas...etc)
No sizes unless i remember...
underneath all of that
if there is "private collection"
it means it was either bought
or i love it so much i kept it
or the wife snagged it...
I will also indicate if it was a commissioned work...
That being said
If there's anything you'd like to adopt
that doesn't say "private collection"
PM me and I'll track it down....

Thank you Hanford for giving us arteestos a place to hang and geek out!
and Welcome to little lost tiki's Gallery of Wonder and Merriment!
er Mystery!
:)

(of course, as i create new work, i will post it on it's own
and later categorize it into its category at a later date)

GROG posted on 02/24/2010

GROG envy you. You enjoy doing your art, and you're anxious to get in the studio and crank out more.

GROG only remember the pain and frustration GROG feel when creating art, and GROG put off doing it. And, when GROG finish a piece, it's less of a sense of accomplishment and more of a sense of relief that the damned thing is finished. The only thing that make it worthwhile to GROG is if the art bring joy to others. That why GROG wanted to be an animator--to create art that was entertaining.

GROG really glad for you that you enjoy creating your art and that it bring joy to you as well as others.

Keep up the good work, you lucky bastard. Image Missing: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/desmojo/1928_middle_finger.gif

LLT-

Awesome catalog. These pieces are just SO much better in person although the frantic energy still explodes off the 'puter screen, natch.

But - I must say - and please entertain this request - it would be groovy for me to see your piece "After Hours" posted here - if only for me to see 'private collection' attached to it :wink: I liken that to a badge of honor (for us mortals) my friend...

Kinny, there is no way one can just scroll down fast and get to the end of each page. Your work is so complicated and colorful and interesting, it is so alive and full of motion. I find myself stopping at each picture and looking all over it and each time I find something new I never noticed before. I particularly like all the color combination.

Wendy-give you and Dan and KTD a biiiig ol' hug! he DOES have a great collection od soooo many artists!
Andy-DOOD!
GROG-i hope someday that art can bring you such joy...i AM a lucky bastard!
TikiG-like i told Soccertiki....in time...in time!
159 pages is a loooot of ground to cover....

Jason-what are we doing hanging around these galleries? let's go group hug Bruno!

Chris-when i get to the painted Shag mug,i'll post the studies for it as well....

2)makes the "world" on canvas more real!
Thanks to y'alls for the niceities!

You know WHAT!?!?!?
This is really time-consuming and EXHAUSTING!
So here's a what I'm gonna do....
Every few days i will grab a bunch of work from
the voluminous files of Tiki Art documented on my HD
and post them...
willy-nilly and all that!
Then i will check them off my list
until they are ALL posted!

Because going back to the Other Crafts post
noting all the pieces for that page
then hunting my art files for better copies
is a terrific waste of time
especially for a man with
painting on his mind....
So it's TIKI ART ROULETTE!
Who knows what the next post will bring?
next time may be sketches/hand-embellished mugs/painted monkeypods/Cannibals/shrunken heads/surfboards
whatever strikes my fancy
til they're all up to Inspire and Amaze you!

so for today.....
I will be sharing WOODBURNS!
About a year or so ago...
a very good friend of mine sent me a professional Colwood WoodBurning set
so i wouldn't burn down the studio with my 99 cent store kit
here are some of the results.....

Wow Kinny Wow, What can be said more than that has already been said. Your imagination, absolute mastering of your medium and obvious focus on your art is inspiring, and quite humbling to myself. There is so much in that head of yours, its exciting to see the next new piece as it develops. Looking forward to the day I can put one on my wall for my friends to enjoy and admire. Keep up the amazing work.

Great compilation of your work LLT. Diving into this thread is like
going into a candy store after a year-long diet. Well, it's not exactly
like that, I'm sure Grog could say it better, but it's all pretty cool.

I enjoyed your latest posts! What was it like "painting" with the wood burner? I played around with one but I didn't know what to "draw" so I put it away! Obviously not my preferred medium!

Woodburning is great FUN! A dear friend sent me a Colwood Wood Burner with a few different tips
iou can adjust the heat level and get it so hot it melts the wood like butter! So basically,it burns the wood as fast as you normally sketch or draw!
Just don't do it for too long...smellin all that burning wood for over 2-3 hours can give you a headache! and it's pretty simple....
just sketch the design on wood lightly then go over those lines with the woodburner...TADA!
I'll do a step-by-step of some woodburning in my Other Crafts thread!

it took a while,but i discovered that embellishing existing objects/mugs was my strength

See what i mean? Collabs are the BEST!

NICE mugs Kinny! I hadn't seen some of these...choice brother.

I still have to put my hands on that one Oasis demo hanging platter you posted...there is still another level of stuff we need to add to it yet. It looks great as is though! I can't wait to see it in person. If you see squid, maybe you could pass it along? That might be one way of getting it down here?
