I, Tiki-Shark, have created the "Shark-Tiki" Tiki-Mug: This is it. It had to happen sooner or later. I just wasn't sure I was a good enough designer yet. But it just about flew out of my hands, like I was watching someone else draw it's pencil designs. It's really magical when That happens, and very rare. Once I figured that I could try putting shark teeth in a Tiki's mouth, the whole design just fell together. The final touch was the small shark aumakua swimming around it's base. Most things I design I have to fight with to get them to come out looking like I want, but this knew what it was right from the start! I just watched it appear on the paper!

Just got in a new batch of beautiful gallery wrapped giclee on canvas art prints - same size as the originals - really came out nice.I'm signing and numbering them, getting 'em ready to be shipped out. JEEPERS CREEPERS, I'm still in shock, and I am just so FREAKING grateful that my printer is not moving off island!! ...I was scared he was for the whole last year! He was actually in the process of moving! ...when finally the tiki gods or fate or what ever stepped in and now he's staying on the Big Island, and saved my butt! His work is some of the best around, and not just in Hawaii - Curators of galleries in LA have told me his giclees are the best they have ever seen. So check 'em out at http://www.mahalotiki.com Thanks, and BIG ALOHA!

Here is the latest brush slapping on canvas of my newest painting. It doesn't really have a name yet .. so the working title is "Surreal Tiki Lounge". Right now I'm working on getting the tiki Mug to look a little like Bela Lugosi, while the zombie holding the drink up is based on the awesome looks of one of my Artist heroes, Crazy Al Evans from Tiki mania. Got lots more to do... ALOHA! Tiki-Shark

I just wasn't GROKing with what was going on in the lower front, while I really loved the rest of it. So I painted out the parts I didn't like and am now gonna sketch somethings that may I want to put in, or leave it empty, or my only fill out the flora.

Here's a new sketch of the Low-Brow Tropical Orchid. I was not sure I was digging it in the painting, but I recalled when I put teeth in my last Tiki Mug design,. IT all worked for me, -so I put some little fangs in the flower and it works for me now as a flower worthy to be in a pop-surreal painting. Let's see how it comes out on the canvas...

Well, LLT, I just repainted the thing with a brush of red paint... I'll figure out what, if anything goes there after some more sketching... I will just paint over the paint when I decide I guess. Here's the repaint... Here's the new surreal-killer flower... more to come! ALOHA!

You are using a technique I don't think I have seen you use before: using heavy lines to differentiate the areas that you are painting (which looks sort of like pen & ink at this stage). Is this new, or did I just not grock your use of it before? Really like the crazy bizarre new flower! :)
TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Sat, Jul 27, 2013 4:58 PM tigertail777 ~ Thank you for the kind words. Aloha Tiki Tribe! We went out last night to the local Wyland Gallery (which carries my work) to see Wyland paint live. Always a fun time. We picked up the girls over at the Royal Kona Resort, and headed out... while we were at the event some tiki tribe folks came up were buying some of my work, and placing their pre-orders for the tiki mugs with the gallery, and so we talked about my tiki art, and I signed some tiki-swag, always a treat! a few drops of rain turned into a Hawaiian down pour... so after the gallery he drove north to clear skies and had drinks at the Lava Lounge at the 4 Seasons. Beautiful Hawaiian night... I think a big storm is coming, so the wind was coming up, the waves were getting big, very beautiful. [ Edited by: tiki shark art 2013-07-28 12:08 ]

I was putting down some dark out lines to revitalize the old pencil sketch on the canvas. It was fading a little because I had taken a break from that piece to finish a commission. I had also just gotten and am being inspired by the last issue of HI Fructose magazine. Their piece on low-brow artist "McChess" aka Matthieu Bessudo really got me going. Love his B& W work, so I was in that kinda mood. I think, it'll all end up looking more like my regular stuff after it gets fully painted...but who knows, each canvas is a lesson and I'm always learning how to paint it seems! ALOHA!

So, next on the list of art projects is a b&W image for a tee shirt for the Body Glove 60th Anniversary /Tiki-Mug release party in October. It's gonna be the Body Glove Sea -Creature. So It was so frickin' hot and humid in my art studio I couldn't really get much done till the sun went down and things started to cool off. Of course now, there's a flying cockroach Hawaiian luau going on in my art studio... sheesh! Must be the heat. Make all the bugs go crazy or something! Or is it that impending tropical storm everyone keeps talking about, just off the coast? Well, sorry for the rant. Anyways, here the drawings in pencil so far,The first sketches are the two I did a while ago for the painting. I may take a break and go into the one room we got in the house that has AC.

It's actually a little complex, and I will make it a little more simple by use of a strong light source and think of it all in terms of black shadows and white highlights. That should help a bit. I want the image to "read" right away. Thanks for watching! ALOHA! [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-07-30 01:14 ]

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 12:22 AM Thanks Everybody! This is going to be just line art, no grey tones. Like the wood cuts.... I really had fun doing that style, and it has a common link to some popular wood cut art from Hawaii made back in the day. So, it's sort of a riff on that style, yet very low-brow. Here's the finished Pencil work. Next I"ll pull out the brush and ink it. Wish me luck - I once was inking a very complex drawing and at about 3/4 done, spilled ink all across it! EEK!. I'm pretty happy with it, it looks a lot like the painting, yet the tikis look more like the mugs than the original tiki designs, which I think kinda' makes them better looking. Here;s the ad with the original painting as ref: And here's the mugs: [ Edited by: tiki shark art 2013-07-31 00:25 ] [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-07-31 00:26 ]
TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 3:16 AM Aloha Tiki Tribe! Here's the first inking on the drawing. For those of you who just walked into the movie, this B & W drawing will be for a Tee shirt for the big Body Glove 60th Anniversary / Sea Creature Tiki-Mug Party in October held here in Kailua-0Kona Hawaii at the Royal Kona Resort, and the Wyland Art Gallery. Long story. Started with a short surf film entered into a contest made by my buddy Greg Browning (Body Glove pro surfer now movie director). His Entry was a surf/monster movie - it won first place! He showed the 7 minute short to me, and got me inspired to paint a low-brow tiki-art painting of the sea-creature. While I did that, Tiki Farm asked if I would design a 3 mug set. So I took 3 element from the painting and made them into 3 tiki-mugs. They came out really great! So, my agent arranged a TikiMug release party. The party kept getting bigger, till it turned into a Body Glove 60 year anniversary / Sea-Creature tiki-Mug release event, one day at the Royal Kona Resort, the next day at the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery. The owners of Body Glove are coming to sign posters, prints, tee shirts, Tiki-Mugs..Plus the Sea Creature (the guy in da' suit) will also be there. October 24th and 25th. The local radio stations are gonna run promos for it, and broadcast live from the Royal Kona Event. The Mayor of the Big island may even show up. So, anyways, somewhere we decided we needed a Tee shirt to sell along with the limited edition Tiki-Mugs (which the gallery is taking pre-orders on, and quickly selling out of ). You can see more info on this event over in Tiki Central Tiki-Events (non LA events). So....back to the Tee Shirts...heres the pencil drawing starting to get inked. Here's the Ad with the Original low-brow Tiki-Art painting of the Sea Creature. , and here's da' swanky Tiki-Mug set. You can order tiki-Mugs over in the TC market place. ALOHA!

I think I would need to do them as cool wood block prints... and until I get ahold of some one who can create wood block prints, I don't have any plans to make them as prints. However, my agent and I went to the local tee shirt biz here in Kona, and they have some really cool ideas for the tee shirts. It will be very cool, I hope.
