Matt -- Your artwork is really cool! Wish I had an ounce of drawing talent. But I'm getting really good at stick figures. |

Thanks guys. The Voudon painting made me think of those 1970's monster magazine comics. They always had adds for paintings on the back covers that had weird, devil at the graveyard or ghost in a cage images. Drug fallout. |

Finished 2 more paintings. To steal Clysdalle's words "they're not tiki but I thought you might like them". Just feeling the Halloween spirit or something. |

That Demon Rum would look sweet on a big ol' Chevy Van!!! We should do a painting jam like the oki oki, but expand it to painting, clay pinstripping..... |

When that happens, you know you're in tune with the wood, my friend. Very cool carving!! I love the skull munching (that's a great idea), I also like how you used the "husk" part (for lack of a better name for it) - it gives the tiki a different feel and a little more texture. how did you get the lighter color? did you sand the husk? or??? A great addition to the lava flow! |

GROG sez
A Clysdalle is an illiterate horse,prone to spelling errors (see above example AND the whole Bandito/Bandido issue) and refusing to draw Tikis.. |

Couple other paintings to add here. This was for Mariepalooza "Zombies Served Here" I have no idea who ended up with it. This is for MP's NorCal Haunted Hotrods and Mystery Machines show. Sketch I'm working on for a new t-shirt and possible painting. Big Shawn Warcott influence on this one. I'm actually in the middle of another piece I've been promising Polynesiac for what must be years. I'll get pics up once I get some real progress going. |

I'll bite: Matt I think of you as a carver and forget that you are a gifted illustrator/painter as well. Your Flying Dutchman turned out great and you cannibal pot is looking, well, "perky"! You were probably looking for constructive criticism from one of the real artist - sorry, you got me instead :D |

I ain't no real artist either, but I know what I like and I likes me some reesenik! This modest guy just oozes with talent. Sit him down with a sharpie and within minutes he's finished a finknik inspired tiki piece! seriously! The flying von dutchman is one of the best! I've always liked how you cut the wood to fit the piece. I think that's a unique touch. I don't care how long it takes, I'm just stoked to know that I have a reesenik on the way! Glad you're hitting the brushes again, I look forward to what you have next! |
