Dont let the signature fool you. Its not done yet.
I always sign my work before I am finished. Trick my brain
into thinking that it mostly is, so I dont screw up or overwork it.
Famous last words.

Call it a superstition or a stupidstition. :D

Mahalo!

Crunch time for Oasis means framing them before they are
done too. Will be back to make a final pass on all of them
once they are framed up.

Aloha,

Spent the last couple of weeks since Oasis flying back and forth
visiting my ailing mom :(. Was nice to get our minds off of things for awhile
and hang at the Rincon Room party and the Tonga Hut over labor day
weekend...we needed that. Thanks Guys!

Did a little sketch recently...

Is that going to become a velvet ? Having a tiki AND a wahine in there will surely draw lots of buyers....the newest one looks great too !

Hope your mom gets well soon.

Jason -

It was cool hanging' out and talking shop for a little while at bongofury's Rincon Room - Thanks!

If this is the concept for one of your new projects we talked about - the famous Luau tiki w/wahine - then brother, I think you're into a good thing here.

Your sketches are amazing. Your finished paintings are amazing. Your contributions to modern Poly-Pop are required study for aspiring artists like myself.

A tallyman thumbs-up! G

PS: Prayors and positive energy for mom...

Many Mahalos for the well wishes everyone. My Mother is out of the hospital
and on the road to recovery. Fingers crossed! It has been a roller coaster
for the last few months to say the least.

This was posted under Sven,s Book of Tiki 10 years Show at M Modern.
Was a great show with many stellar pieces to enjoy. Great turnout too!
Thanks again Sven, Naomi, and M Modern!

Here is a rough sketch for a piece I am doing for the Halloween Art Show at the Tonga Hut.
Needs tweaks to read better. Tentatively titled "Werewolf of NoHo". Will be a velvet too. :)

Cheers G! Great seeing you recently.

Great idea tikiskip! Since I loosely based it on the Tonga Hut,
and it was for the halloween show there,
I decided to make the severed head look like the owner Jeremy.
Next time I will use your idea for sure. Thanks!

Thanks Kelly and Cass. Great drinks last night Kelly!
Cass, we missed seeing your creations there.

Yo Kenny! Hope I channeled some of your magic.

Mahalo Robb! I didn,t get to work on it as much as I would
have liked, but had fun with it nonetheless.
