No this has nothing to do with Vegas other than... well yeah no nothing to do with vegas!?!
But my random art work and tiki thinkings, will be shared and i hope to inspire some one
as everyone on this site dose to me on a regular basis. I cant say thank you enough to everyone on
here for the inspiration.

Just got the bowl that BBMoondog painted and it already has a spot next to Doug Horne and MoJo
and a few of my paintings i recently finished.

Anthony glad to see that you've started a thread for your art, we're looking forward to seeing lots more of it. bbmoondog's bowl looks great on your wall, don't forget to post pictures of your awesome "Sons of Pele" helmet here on this thread too.

The great thing about inspiration is that it flows in all directions

MahaloTiki posted on 09/10/2012

Glad to see you posting up your art!

It definitely deserves to be seen by the TIKI public.

I would be interested in buying a piece if you get around to selling something.

A
anthonymaye posted on 09/13/2012

Nelson I am sure i will sell some sooner or later but maybe a trade for a mug might work for the shrunken head?

Vamp thank you for the praise im happy to post... but ya know we are all are own worst critic so as much as
i like painting i don't often like what i do :)

But none the less i did finish the long board OR as Da Vinci said "art is never finished... Only abandoned"

And here is another painting finished a while back I call it "Tiki with glasses"

D
danlovestikis posted on 10/10/2012

Tiki's with glasses is too funny. I get so busy that I forget to check up on the work of other artists. I'm glad I scrolled down to find your newest posts. I love tikis with flames and shrunken heads too. See you in a few days, Wendy

So the other night me and my son Lane had a boys night in and and i asked him what he wanted to do ...
besides play video games and he said make a tiki.
So i said lets do this grabbed some carving wax i had lying around and got him a file and said go at it.
So here he is with the tiki mounted to a canvass that he helped me stripe one proud little dude.

And less climatic some of my recent debauchery with paint.

My entry for the art swap.coming along


I have a few of the trader dick mugs so defacing one seemed ok?

and a brake master cylinder cover for a friends car i built and painted for him.

M
MadDogMike posted on 12/07/2012

Lane looks so proud, as well he should be! That cover looks sweet but doesn't brake fluid eat paint? (I know it's on the outside of the master cylinder but accidents are bound to happen) I'm curious what kind of theme he has going on his car that a koi would fit in?

Hello everyone

well I read the thread on cannibals and have never heard of the bora-bora tikis
so i thought i would do my rendition of the the three.
After hunting the garage for a idea i found a canvass an old bowling pin primed it and got to doodling
and came up with this,

What a crack up to see the monkey's reacting to your bowling pin art! I bet it is a challenge to paint at an angle. What type paint are you using? Wendy

So i finally got around to mounting the turtle dish i got from lorilovestikis in the last art swap i had a cigar case and i was able to fit it in the box then i put a whole lot of holes in the lid to look like a shotgun blast and colored it accordingly and glued it together now the turtle dish is a lost artifact.

And then i got back to work on the current swap project the three amigos.
I am about half way done with the piece i got some line work done today and more color
added the dividers between tikis and had a great time doing it. but this will be the last i
do to it for a bit as tomorrow i will be in the hospital with my lovely wife Kait,
as she brings baby Hudson in to the world. This will be number three for me and
i couldn't be any happier.
