Hey Ken- It was sooo great to see you guys Thursday! My wife had a great time too. Thanks a bunch for the excellent piece of Ruzic art too! We really dig it, and it has it's own place on display in our house too. That's saying a lot because my wife doesn't agree to just let ANY art be out in the house! Most of my shrunken heads, swamis and one-eyed monsters are confined to my office.... :) Thanks so much again! You're an excellent friend! |

Hi Kenny Great work on the recent pieces, I love the waterfall one, and "Awaiting" especially. Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to say Fern Boy arrived safe and sound after his sail across the pacific and I finally managed to see him recently - He's awesome and I can't wait to put him on display in my future tiki bar! Keep up the good work!! Cheers. |

Hey Mike! Clarita-Gracias my friend! First off... SEE, THE COOL THING About these is you paint half Manic Cannibal King! Depressive Cannibal King! Next piece is yet another abstract/experimental piece.. DEETS! This one was just for fun and learning.. I think it's done This next piece is my offering for the Poly-blend show This theme was so fun and fresh Also, if you've been out of the loop... Here's some details to show how i nailed that tissue paper stain look! Note the shifting movement of the feet and arms "What's that gotta do with Tiki,LLT?" ,you ask.... Well, funny you should ask... First step... After that dries by going over the color i can bring things to the foreground Will tackle the subtle lighting and butterfly wings today.... Well.....

The tissue paper is a great medium - really soaks up the color and disburses it. I love the Minotaur theme as well - reminds me of "The Lovers" (I think that's what it's called) by Klimnt (sp?). Beautiful, as usual! :) "Something, something, something, Dark Side, something, something." [ Edited by: beadtiki 2010-02-13 13:51 ] |

Kinny, the tissue paper technique worked out good - very true to the water color style. But "Theseus and the Minotaur" is just too much for my little brain to process :) |

Omigawrsh! Jason.... that fire guy you just finished has just upped it a notch! Reagan! Hey Badd! MadDoggie, MANGO! Bowie! TikiG! Here's the finished piece Here's the village in the early morning mist... I've grown quite close with that distant jungle on this side of the piece.... That's it for Tiki stuff.. First off.. here's a detail from the "African mask" painting Also,have been working with collage... here's some details....
being a designer.. Also worked on and finished a piece for the Rothick gallery's skateboard exhibition this painting was influenced by both the art of the Middle Ages AND the desire to create a slyly political piece Here's a man holding the scales of justice as well as observing the night sky... Here's the angel coming on down and giving Mr. king a gentle warning with his widdle finger... and here's the far left of the painting HIGH ART WARNING TO MADDOG MIKE! this is at the very bottom center i loves them feets,Jack! That's it! |

Thanks Ken, I proceeded very carefully through that section. I did note, however, that if you took the extra feet from the Minotaur and the extra heads from Satan, you could build a couple of extra people :lol: (Great stuff Kinny :) ) |

Nice head Kinny...hard to tell it's shrunken though, it looks like a normal size head. You should paint something next to it, like a quarter or something , for comparison. Yeah, I never went to art class. |

Thanks Toe! Jason-it's shrunken! Those leaves in the background are from a Bonsai tree! Brad TikiShark! mad Doggy! OOOOKAY! First How-To.... First,we quickly sketch a concept that says "HEY! Make me into something!" Next,grab some watercolor paper here it is reeeeal close! After that dries... Close-ups..
Next step is to grab a gray or neutral tone of ink Close-ups! After THAT... it should look like this... and here it is finished! Hope you enjoyed this first of many tutorials |

Kinny, if you're going to run an art school you should be more selective who you pick as students! :lol: When I see something that says "tutorial", I have to try it. I didn't have any ink but I had some cheap watercolor pencils from WalMart. So I gave it a shot
All kidding aside, great tutorial Ken - I think I actually learned a thing or two :) As in any endeavor - tools and planning are key. |

Kenny! I remember reading "How To Draw the Marvel Way" when I was a kid. Hey, when I'm on da mainland, I'm bringing your phone number with me, I got all this crazy driving up and down the So Cal coast to do for business with Body glove and other surf brand day-job stuff. Bit Abbas and I are gonna call you if we ever get close to Orange so we can say hi... if that's cool and time works out. Maybe I can see you Friday night? Don't know all who is gonna be there... but BIG ALOHA TO YOU, if I do or don't see you!!! Brad~ |

Not bad Mike! You are a fearless adventurer
Bradley! Thank you all for the visits and the artchat and the Ohana! This is the kind of painting After a long session the transparency of the "ghostboat" pops out a bit more... a little more makeup and hair work... so that's that for now..... Now onto our tutorial Here's a piece entitled "Late Night Walk" Examples of which i will collect and post in my Gallery thread for you to peruse... Here's the sketchbook doodle that inspired this one.. first off close-up! After it dries,i wet the tip of a paper towel and wipe off all the pencil lines that are showing.... Next step is the paint pen .. Before i started with the black, i developed the grass and made the shadows of the This is before his Hawaiian calavera Eye Plumeria is finished...

You mean something like this that my very talented friend Tommy Tejeda did? He is an artist on The Simpsons, but was a character designer for warner Bros. for many years on Batman, Superman, Justice League, etc.
