There you go, zero! Much less evil and more of a "drunken friend" vibe to Lester now. Coming along just fine. G |

Moving slowly on this one...haven't had much time to work on it. I did work on the Tiki behind the window and added some of the masks behind the him and am still fine tuning the chimps face! Long way to go! We are taking my Dad out this weekend (his Birthday) to the Mai Kai. So I will be taking some reference pics on the main Tiki....don't have many good shots of him right now. More later! |

Looks good Robert. Nice uplit palm tree out the window, booth details are coming together. Keep the receipt for your "research" visit to the Mai Kai, when you sell the painting you can write that expense off your taxes :lol: |

Managed to take a photo of the painting outside. So everything looks as sharp as it should altho' the overall color is a tad on the blue side making it seem less warm that it actually is. |

That's not crooked, it's an optical illusion! The sign looks good (I didn't really see it before) AND I SEE BLOWFISH SPINES!!!! :D |

MDM, the spines are in and it's been very challenging for me so far....that is my 3rd attempt at that blowfish so far. It's coming along I think! Wendy, I see exactly what you mean but that is his ribs...this chimp is kinda "ripped"! :) |

Just finished a non-Tiki painting. It's a 6x6 inch Howard The Duck. Even though it is non-Tiki I thought I'd post a link in case anyone would like to see it: http://www.zerostreet.net/?p=914 Tomorrow I get back to Lester! |

Howard is haggardly dapper and the Greeter so moody and mysterious. 6x6, just little guys :) |

Thanks Mike! The Greeter is for a gallery show I was invited to. The "theme" is small and affordable art, hence the size. Howard is a gift to our daughters pediatrician. He loves ducks, especially Howard. He's one of "those" doctors, you know, duck tie, duck on his stethoscope... |

SHAZAM!! I love the "faux velvet" piece, and the one that you're struggling with looks fine - if it still was bothering me, I'd put it in a drawer for a month and jump on it hard then! More pieces on black please. |

"Greeter" - now that's pretty cool. I like the simple moody vibe off of that one. "Lester" - What can I say other than he must be pickled by now, sitting at the Mai Kai this long! LOVE THEM BOTH... |
