I'm using the same techniques as LLT for Cripes-sake :wink: ? All joking aside I like the two newbies on today's easel (or in this case the table) - the new Cannibal King and MoonBird images ROCK!

Again,my apologies... thanks to all who attended to send our talented boy off to the Great NorthWest! Feel like I'm losing a brother.... Anyways..... TikiG-Thanks man! One question..... WHY would you want a painting to look like an LLT when it can look like a TikiG? I'd say that style suits you better...a better fit! :) Glad you likes em! i have your 3 shrunken pieces BTW Estala dropped em off here so they are safe.... GROG-I'm no longer listening to you! You wear a Fannypack! In fact,you LOST your FANNYPACK after the ArtJam and called here to find it... You need to thank Zoey for remembering that YOU WERE WEARING IT WHEN YOU LEFT! Sheesh.....

VROOOOOOM! zerostreet-Thanks for the enthusiasm! the Cannibal King still has a few ribs to go! Maybe they're BABY back ribs!! wanna sculpt one of dem bowls........ already got a name.... "O-WRONG-O" bowl! those mounted canvas on board with the thick museum wood sides is great! My artist friend Zoey said you can make it yourself lay down the gesso lay some fabric down on top and lightly lift it off and BAM! the same as a textured canvas! i liked it. a lil pricey at the art store but kinda worth it and i got it on Sale! :) MarkusK-yeah,thought it was about time to see what the cannibal king was doing...... So glad that you and so many others like him... He just cracks me up...all roar and noise and yet,if you look at him...he's a chubby little loudmouth! hmmmm..... maybe i should stop doing self-portraits.... Thanks again for all the kindness and for visiting this thread! Wendy- Love you,darling! Anything i can do to help you recover.... Just take good care of that left hand while the right one heals! :) Toesy! Love you man! It was a BLAST nailing everyone down in one spot for a visit! Thanks for helping to make it happen! and thanks for the props... the feeling is mutual! most days.... Here's some progress shots on the "MoonBird" to help my darling Wendy heal! "MoonBird" Got some shading in gonna get that done seal it then pump it up with the lighting more!!! Here's the chief and "paddles" closer-up... Fishies! Palm!Grass! Flowers! and an extreme close-up to show the colored pencil shading up close.... it blends well as you back away from the piece! That's it for now! Gotta Fly!

Your latest is GORGEOUS! Especially the orchids! TIKI JEDI MASTER! and a mag cover and article! Glad you're finally gettin what you've deserved and worked so hard for! Totally thought of you during the Art JAm... wish you were closer! Next time you can make it down here I'll gather up the tribe for one! Miss you Buds! Well....sorry for the wait...i was talking to TikiShark... Hope that wasn't too rude... ANYWAYS.... Have a "Journey" looming in the future i should finish and a 5 foot pew commission and 8 Bible-based pieces and possibly MOasis/goin Primitive startin to get serious about getting the website up and full o' art and another SECRET event to prep for during the summer and rumor has it.. maybe some new mugs or something... etc. etc. ad infinitum ... Man! if i didn't have this day job i could actually get stuff done! but i would have to like the taste of cardboard and book pages and live in a box.... and that ain't gonna happen! Ever try to hang paintings in a cardboard box? it ain't pretty! Anyways.... "MOONBIRD" is Finished! Layers and Layers.... Here! I'll show you some of the progress shots (Too Busy to post-so i just shot...you know how it is when you get on a ROLL!) Here you can see the initial colored pencil shading to split up the planes and give it a initial depth... Some areas i rendered the shadows other areas,the light.... Here you can see how rough it looks close-up,but i think this is actually BIGGER than actual size! Man! That was a lotta areas to render Sometimes you'd catch one that got away and then have to hunt for that color and fill it in! :) This is before all the lighting on the fishies. Here's the Palms before they got their colored pencil shading... After all the colored pencil was finished it was sealed with a matte acrylic varnish and worked over after that with cel vinyl (it stuck just right on the surface) and then it was DONE! so her it is..... "MoonBird" Acrylic,cel-vinyl,and colored pencil on masonite 16x20 private collection Here you can see the additional layers scumbled over the pencil shading and,of course,the night needed stars which were rendered over the entombed colored pencil layer.. a good view of the contrast on the cape and paddle that was an initial red acrylic base with a brick red colored pencil for shading the palms also .. an indigo colored pencil layer sealed,and then rendered over with a happy bright green.... Above is a closer shot of the moonBoid... after the initial indigo shadowing i went in with white and the same blue of the ocean and lit it a bit more feathery-ish... Also,you can see the white and lime green grass over the initial grass texture to give it a multilayered look as well as enhance the shadows more... Here's a close-up of the palm and especially the grass.. very stylized,but it adds a welcome texture,i think! :) and lastly..Close-up of the fishlies and to give you an idea of the water... Well,this one was a fun diversion... and speaking of diversions.. While awaiting for this to dry i thought i'd just wing something.... So,after consulting yon sketchbooke i banged out... "Frenchy" acrylic and cel=vinyl on masonite 16x20 Here's a close-up so you can see the initial pencil under the sloppy layers.. i kinda like it messy but bias is one of my stronger traits! :) Talk with y'alls soon! and again....Mahalos for all the lovely things you say and bring to this thread! it'a a prime motivator!

Here's aquick drive-by with a brand new piece that blends a few styles quite almost successfully,to be honest... :) zerostreet-Many mahalos you my friend,it makes me so happy to bring some smiles and palpitations to the ohana! Mike-that Blondie cartoon is not entirely correct....i usually am whittling with a big knife when i give my pitch! :) Thank you for the nice thoughts and i am glad too that it went to a good home... and you shouldn't feel a shred of jealousy,just happiness that art is spread about the globe in a myriad of styles!!!! and Wendy-thank you for ALL that you do your perseverance,talent and creativity astonish me all the time. i am honored that a piece of my heart is living in your hut! I'm sure the moonBird and the rowers are making many friends with the metropolis of paintings and mugs and wonderful objects you have in there! mahalos and besos! marcus-i thank you..... Did Toe give you that hug when he was down undah? or did he keep it to himself? :lol: Admirable scene you boys started down there.....muchos kudos! Welp.... work is looming so i gotta be quick! This piece,like i said earlier is trying to blend cubist plains that i normally save for the abstracts and the stained glass pieces and throwing it into my quickie "cartoon realistic" style... it was fun yet daunting,but it makes me wanna do more! "the Invocation" acrylic and cel vinyl on masonite 16x20 here's a close-up of his face... drummin hands some of the foreground and the "music" spiral ling upward to the gods... more music sailing into the sky.... and my favorite part...the moon! where the plane really got broken up! That's it! Gotta go! Thanks for all the love,Ohana! :)

Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Mon, Jun 13, 2011 7:26 AM Hello Folks! a little pre-work posting... i got up early for this,so please....no shouting this morning... thank you for your cooperation.... Sneaks-here comes another one ALL BRUSH,baby! You'll be surprised at the amount of these there are already out there... i segue-wayed into it slowly....imitating the strokes of the paintpen and just using a brush...... Outlines are a pain in the behind to render with a brush so there are a lot pieces that have acrylic grounds with a paintpen outline.... here's an oldies that's All acrylic... "See No Evil (etc.) totem... GROG-Thank you my funny fannypacker! Thorsten has a great unique style... I've been looking at Braque's,Picasso,Thorsten,and a slew of others who have delved into this look.. What an eyeful of great works! They've been so inspiring... I only hope i can bring a little LLT to this way of painting and contribute to its advancement... Hack? an artist never should work in a complete vacuum it's a mutual inspiration club,remember? Now go get your Warner Brothers jacket dry-cleaned or something i gotta go talk to my other guests..... Wendy-Wow! How sweet! Thank you for helping to spread the love! Your "red Dirt Parking lot" is amazing! I hope they place our art next to each other in the Scootiki exhibition so they can chat it up at night after everyone's gone.... Hugs to you,my amazing ambidextrous friend! Brad-Thank you! It's really enjoyable wandering off the path for awhile and meeting a new style to play with! It's even better when a good friend and fellow artist chimes in with such kind words! Thanks Brad! Miss you man! Well..... played with another abstract this week when i should have been working on other things.....my bad... But when the spirit moves you one's gotta follow it! Here is a step-by-step of my latest for you to check out and see how it's done at the batcave.. It's called "Visit of the Sun" Step 1 slather Olives and mustards and magentas on masonite Step 2 Draw it out on the DRY surface with a white pastel pen (so you can wipe off the excess with a wet cloth Step 3 start on the shadows with a Raw Umber Step 4 start filling in other colors (the palms/flowers/the Sun's rays/etc.) Step 5 Start applying shadowing on those colored areas Also begin applying the grass and the lighting here and there... Here's some close-ups before it get's the coup-de-gras... and here is the finished piece after painstaking washes of sepia,blending the mustard with the other colors to get a soft lighting and such.. It's a day scene and i wanted it softer than the Invocation piece so i held back and didn't add any white or cream hi-lights.... Here it is... This is the most accurate shot for color "Visit of the Sun" acrylic and cel-vinyl on masonite 16x20 i had a spare Monkeyman frame around,so i framed it! :) Here's some close-ups of the final painting Thanks again fer a'visitin and saying "Aloha!" :)

Spent 1 day over at Queen Kamehameha's in her lovely saltwater pool and the rest of the time was spent as a hermit celebrating the holiday safe in the art-bunker! WestADad-Glad you enjoy these ocular treats! They're very high in Calories,so view with caution,Chris! :) Mike!-you pretty much summed it up... i just use more analogies and adjectives! Yes! You've seen my scooter piece(s) i didn't do one with a scooter cause there are none in the world i paint in.... "the Cannibal King's Dinner" was made especially for that show and this "Dream of the Agiba Skullrack" will be keeping him company! And ,to support the theory that the Squeaky Wheel DOES get the Grease i have a more involved step-by-step/progress on this new piece Sneaks!-No problemo art-brother! Man! We gotta hook up for a weekend artjam someday! Here's a new piece I'm creating for the lucky 13 Tiki Highway event in a few weeks at Don's.... Figgered i might as well get ONE new thing done and then it's off to a crapload of projects and commissions some Tiki some not... start with a 16x20 piece of masonite and just pencil in your picture (this one i just went for it-basing it on a few older approaches i had created for some huts) Here's a close-up of the pencil.. Daddy likes it rough. Lay in some olive in the vegetation areas.... Add some lighter green,a happy limey color to establish some light hitting some planes... and start washing in a mud-grey/hazel-ish for the wood and washes of mustard for the hut.... close-up! start laying the hazel over the hut to get some shadows and layered looks ZOOM IN! work more brown in for shadowing this will be the lighter shadow as i will be adding a burnt umber later Started on the blue-going in there with washes of color the raw masonite just soaks it UP! More More More of it and here is where i am ,as of last night.. it's gettin there... That;s it! Gotta get to the ol' dayjob! Thanks for visitin! :)

"the Cannibal King's Dinner" was made especially for that show" I was confused until I looked at the official Call to Art "works combining Lambrettas and Tikis are heavily weighted but not required" Now I get it!

GROG buy LLT a fanny pack so LLT can carry his drawing tools around also. LLT probably not look as good as GROG with a shaved head, so sorry GROG not able to do anything about that. You'll just have to keep paying for hookers.
