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:

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

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

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! :)
