I decided to keep the plaster surface a rough as when I received it, and tried to do the image in a loose, brushy fashion to match the surface. Since every side could not be seen at once, I wanted there to be little vignettes on the sides: tikis on one, and an out rigger and an A-framed fishing pier on the other.

GROG think you are one of the most creative artists on Tiki Central, and with such a wide variety of mediums and it's all so good. Plus, you've really developed as a "Tiki" artist. You've come such a long way from your first "Tikizilla/Rodan Tiki" paintings to the Tiki artist you are today. Your art and creativity is a great contribution to the new Tiki Revival and art scene.

GROG hat off to you.

Cheers. :drink:

Mr. Tobunga -

Thanks for the inspiring collection of tiki goodness posted here - I'm in awe as much as anybody else regarding the sheer variety of mediums you utilize :) Oh yeah, the Tobunga style is readily recognizable and for that achievement alone I bow to you.

Another aspect of your character that many people outside of So. Cal may not realize is your dedication to the tiki "revival" scene here in Los Angeles and elsewhere - that you support most if not all of the various happenings and events and get-togethers and CHOPs and shows...100%...attending these "scenes" in person. Its just not Ohana when you're absent.

Take care my friend, keep the flag waving for tiki art and I for one always look forward to see the next break-thru you bestow to the public at large. Aloha! G

Eric
you are OUT OF CONTROL!
New goodies i haven't seen
or neglectfully glossed over
and so many different mediums and results!
You're like a walking Tiki-makin robot!!!

Mahalos for sharing the love!

T

ALOT of work there Eric....Awesome !

thats it ? lol
you must eat breakfast with a brush in your hand!
Awsome and ya, inspiring work!
Fun to see a piece or two of yours in my collection,
Mahalo !

MN

I can't remember what made my eyes bleed first!
Anyways, great pieces.

Love it!!!

[ Edited by: Mr. NoNaMe 2010-03-03 17:35 ]

B

I love the obvious sense of humor you bestow upon your creations! Every new picture had me smiling and saying "Daaaaaaaaaaamn!" Yeah, like everyone else said, WOW on the variety of medium - sewing, carving, painting, lamp making, FOOD!, etc. I also appreciated the variety of cultures you worked with. You must do research for a living! Keep it up!

J

Awesome Stuff Eric - I am proud to have a few of your pieces in my collection, including the last kuddly Ku! Your imagination and no fear approach to any medium is spectacular!
Can't wait to see whats next for you!
You are very inspiring!

T

Thank you everybody for the awesome feedback! I appreciate and am humbled by the positive response and incredible support I get from the Tiki Central Ohana.

To answer your question Leleliz, it took about four hours to transfer everything over from my Other Crafts thread... I kept saying to myself when I came to a particularly photo filled post "Dang, how much work have I produced?!?" And I knew I still had more to process!

And Grog, it's interesting that you can chart my development... I look at some of my early stuff and I kinda cringe... I can sense when I really hit my stride and got into my particular tiki groove.

As TikiG said, I guess I really do have a style... I didn't really think so, but it's there. Perhaps it was lost on me... I just create work out of what ever medium my ideas dictate (or what ever object I randomly find, and my mind, over which I apparently have little control, turns into a medium)... and I'm too close to the work to see the connections?

Seeing it all grouped together is a little overwhelming for me... sorry if I caused anybody any eyestrain!

Mahalo again to everybody!

Thanks fer lookin'
Yer pal,
Eric October

S

No bleeding...just lots of "oooooh...I want that one!!!! No, that one!!!!! and THAT one!!!!!!"

JB

Well if you won't post it, I certainly will....

Awesome stuff Eric!!! I really like the drawings on the black paper!!! I also think it is awesome that you work with so many mediums!

B

that was amazing!! absolutely AMAZING! great work! I love it ALL!

AF

Wow Eric, with all those ideas, it's like October...but all year round!
Stellar Stuff for Sure!!
A

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, OVERLOAD!, OVERLOAD! Beeeep, frzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Someone find the plug for this man's brain! What an incredible cornucopia of Tiki concepts. No shyness about coming up with a crazy new idea and realizing it! I always thought Kenny was unbeatable in terms of manic productivity, but you have been a busy little Menehune, too, Eric! So much I have not seen before, I love the Tiki city landmarks, and of course love to recognize things from my books! And all the limitless Duk Duk madness!

I'm glad I was sitting down. :)

OMG, Eric, you're making me dizzy! The Halloween costumes cracked me up, as did the Hanukkah Tiki. I love the Islander stuff, but my favorite has got to be "Tyler's First Christmas", that is awesome. Boy, Manuel is one helluva good sport, between the costumes, the PJs & all the hats! :lol: I'm so glad I have some of your stuff in my lounge, thanks to your generosity in one of the mug swaps. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Mahalo,

Well, we know he can work in 36-C,

so 4-D and 5-D should be no problem for him.

T

HA HA! 36-C!
Thanks fer the kind words!

Since the 4th dimension is time, I'm already working in that!

Boy, am I ever!

Any speculations about what the 5th dimension could be? I mean one that does not reference Marylin McCoo?

L

love all the Lush Goes Latin stuff...and the Tiki Bob keychains (did you doubt I wouldn't?) and the bday cards are great!

great to see you and manuel on Sunday!
i hope you cheered up all those goths at Disneyland that evening! :)
fifth dimension?
Here you go!
Can't wait to see you play art in the fifth dimension!

from Wikipedia
Abstract five-dimensional space occurs frequently in mathematics, and is a legitimate construct. Whether or not the real universe in which we live is somehow five-dimensional is a topic that is debated and explored in several branches of physics, including astrophysics and particle physics.

In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial dimensions and one time dimension of Relativity. The Kaluza-Klein theory used the fifth dimension to unify gravity with the electromagnetic force; e.g. Minkowski space and Maxwell's equations in vacuum can be embedded in a 5-dimensional Riemann curvature tensor . Kaluza-Klein theory now is seen as essentially a gauge theory with gauge group the circle group. M-theory suggests that space-time has eleven dimensions, seven of which are "rolled up" to below the subatomic level. Physicists have speculated that the graviton, a particle thought to carry the force of gravity, may "leak" into the fifth or higher dimensions which would explain how gravity is significantly weaker than the other three fundamental forces.

In 1993 the physicist Gerard 't Hooft put forward the holographic principle, which explains that the information about an extra dimension is visible as a curvature in a spacetime with one fewer dimensions. For example, holograms are three-dimensional pictures placed on a two-dimensional surface, which gives the image a curvature when the observer moves. Similarly, in general relativity, the fourth dimension is manifested in observable three dimensions as the curvature of path of a moving infinitesimal (test) particle. Hooft has speculated that the fifth dimension is really the spacetime fabric.

There ya go!
