Y'know what'd be great? A coloring contest here on Tiki Central.

This picture created by GROG would be a good image to color as it's already in black and white and it's probably the most Tiki image we could find...*****

The details of how a Tiki Central coloring contest could go are posted here.

*****A little controversy and freaking out would be good publicity for the coloring contest.

Thank you Wendy. GROG so glad you are a part of TC. One of the kindest persons GROG knows. You are such a beautiful lady; elegant and graceful in all you do. You are so encouraging and inspiring. You are so talented and supportive of other artists and appreciative of their talents. Dan is so lucky to have you. GROG thinking about killing him off so GROG can marry you. (How long should we wait after the funeral to get together so it doesn't look too suspicious?)

i heart Grog's crap

But anyways, GROG appreciate that you like GROG' crap, especially coming from such a master ruiner as yourself. Now get to ruinin' for the Moai Madness art show in July!

GROG working on making production molds for Goin' Primitive, so GROG probably won't have time to do anything too involved. Maybe some one-ofs and a couple of bowls. And maybe a few of the Moai salt and Pepper shakers.

GROG, it was great to see you again at Oasis. Don't let the day job keep u away from makin tiki GROG stuff...
Jon

Good thing I check in on you Grog or I might have missed how much you care. That was some kiss at Oasis. I had to confess to Dan! Hugs, Wendy

GROG stayed at Babalu's house during Oasis...I'm not sure if most of you know it, but GROG was one of the animators on the Iron Giant movie. Babalu asked GROG to sign his grandson's poster in the cowboy room. Thanks GROG!!

YAY GROG!!

Missed you at MOasis,Ernie!

well.....not really!
:lol:

you better come out next time!

your mugs turned out STUNNING!!!

Yes, the mugs came out great. Hope to see you next time!

The Iron Giant is the "Beez Kneez" !

Hey Grog add all your art here too. Blog N Art a good time for all! Wendy

GROG added stuff to first page, Wendy. Including the latest Bamboo Ben comic.

[ Edited by: GROG 2011-11-07 10:12 ]

I just looked and read and laughed and enjoyed. Then I looked at every other page too. You made my day. Keep it up, Please. I see a joke here, Wendy

Thanks Wendy and MadDoggy. GROG make the latest Bamboo Ben comic a bit bigger so you can see it better MadDoggy. GROG actually put in a bit more work on this one rather than crapping it out at the last minute like GROG do most of the Bamboo Ben comics, so GROG want you to see it better so you can see the detail. It was interesting trying to ink it like a superhero comic since GROG just an animator, and not have a lot of experience inking.

I love your blog log Grog! Thanks for keeping us entertained! :lol:

Thanks Umeone and Cy. Glad you guys were entertained by GROG' crap.

Damn you B. Ben, now GROG have to make the comics bigger so they're easier to read! Well, if it gives more people some entertainment, GROG guess GROG gotta do what GROG gotta do.

All right B. Ben you bastard, GROG go back and 'biggie-size" all the Bamboo Ben comics. It was a lot of resizing,cutting and pasting, and re-posting stuff, so thanks for all the work, you bastard.

P.S. Did GROG mention that you are a bastard!

Here's my absolute favorite GROG comic....

Thanks Bai. That ultimate cmpliment coming from such an incredible ceramicist as yourself.

Latest Bamboo Ben comic added to page 1.

OK, who makes those groovy monkey tiki mugs and where can I get one (or two)?

GROG posted on Fri, Apr 27, 2012 3:50 PM

TikihardBopper,

GROG make the ape mugs, but you have to talk to Wildsville Man about getting one. AND, they aren't available in the above glaze anymore as those were for the Goin' Primitive event. Queen Kamehameha may have some of the brown ones left, but Rory sold the last of his brown ones on ebay. We have about 50 or so left which will be done ina few limited edition glazes and one-one-ofs and then theyr'e gone.

By the way, latest Bamboo Ben comic added to first page.

[ Edited by: grog 2012-04-27 23:36 ]

Thanks, I sent a message to Wildman. Hopefully, he can straighten things out for me!

Grog put a match under his kiln yet???

G
GROG posted on Thu, May 10, 2012 9:05 AM
