T tikitony Tiki Socialite Ventura, CA Joined: Aug 18, 2002 Posts: 861	T tikitony Posted posted on Sat, Nov 29, 2003 10:18 AM dude, I got to see the Crazy Al painting in person, that thing is way detailed! It always amazes me, how good stuff looks even better in person, and it was truely amazing. Nice job, I can't wait to get an original of yours! It didn't look like a painting done with brushes, the paint seemed to be applied by a precise machine, only it wasn't a color by number preciseness. Yup, it kicks ace, Great Job!

I couldn't get a better pic, I tried many times. I was totally painting it with raw emotion, had a great time doing it. I'll be puting a new series on my site next week and I'll add some of them here. There mixed media pieces, mostly robot / tiki. I also started my first tiki carving today! It's looking pretty good so far. I never touched a carving tool in my life. Diggin it so far, love whalin that hammer.

R RevBambooBen Tiki Socialite Huntikington Beach Joined: Nov 12, 2002 Posts: 7946	R RevBambooBen Posted posted on Mon, Dec 1, 2003 11:20 PM Flounder- I tried the "pot o coffee and beers," the other day. Things were ugly that day!! Must take some getting used to!?! Will try again soon.
F FLOUNDERart Tiki Socialite Orlando Florida Joined: Sep 02, 2003 Posts: 1140	F FLOUNDERart Posted posted on Tue, Dec 2, 2003 6:12 AM Ah, you saw the interview. I'm not sure anyone else has. The key with the beer and coffee is to drink the coffee first, it makes the beer taste all that much better. Coffee truly taste like shit but for some reason we all love it. I think the south americans are putting cocain in it to keep us hooked. OK try this one! I did this at my studio about five years ago as an experiment. I drank a large 24oz coffee and a six pack of mountain dew as fast as I could to see what would happen. I bounced off the walls all day, it was actually alot of fun. Result: The studios consisted of about 40 members, and at the next meeting it was voted that I was not permitted to have caffeine anymore.

F FLOUNDERart Tiki Socialite Orlando Florida Joined: Sep 02, 2003 Posts: 1140	F FLOUNDERart Posted posted on Tue, Dec 2, 2003 8:06 AM The crash does suck! The only thing that sucks about the Ten Commandments is I sold the whole series for $250 because I wasn't painting at the time and they had been sitting around for a while, I just wanted to get rid of them. Aghhhhhhh There's some lucky sucker out there. My mixed media robot/tiki series is done and should be up this week, yeah baby.

Oh. Back in my serious partying days I used to make a pot of coffee and have a cup every 3-4 beers. It really does the trick. As alcohol wears off, it can make you draggy. I was aiming to stay up till dawn. Ah the good old days. I'd do that and still make my classes and kick ass doin' it. The metabolism of youth!

B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Sun, Jan 11, 2004 6:56 PM Yea, Carving is another thing. What kind of camera do you use. I have a Nikon CoolPix 950, a bit old for digital, but it takes great pictures.
F FLOUNDERart Tiki Socialite Orlando Florida Joined: Sep 02, 2003 Posts: 1140	F FLOUNDERart Posted posted on Sun, Jan 11, 2004 8:15 PM I use a Powershot Digital Elph. It takes good pics, but when it comes to taking pics of 2D images I have a hell of a time. I always have a problem with glare. I need to set up a place to shoot pics with cross lighting, but don't have the room. My paintings are much better in person, especially the burlaps. Benzart wrote, Flounder, I really Love the Burlaps, Wish I could draw and paind(can't draw a crooked line!)Maybe I can afford one some day . Really nice.

B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Tue, Jan 13, 2004 1:58 PM Nothing like an accident or anything like that. My Joints just grow excessive bone spurs or something like that. Had 2 lower surgeries before I was 25 removing spurs. Had a Grape size chunk removed from my left shoulder about 8 yrs agoand had a Lot of Bone removed from my neck about 4 yrs ago there are 2 rods about 3/16 'x 4'with 5 screws holding my neck together.Last jan I had the Bottom Thumb bone removed on my right hand and last July the same on my left. My hands are actually almost good enough to start carving again I hope. I'm not doing badly at all recently other than being turned down for disability 2 times. Anyway, my last post I 0ffered to take shots of your work and it dawned on me that would be a good way to get free use of your art....Not what I was thinking or where I was going, ,apologies.
F FLOUNDERart Tiki Socialite Orlando Florida Joined: Sep 02, 2003 Posts: 1140	F FLOUNDERart Posted posted on Tue, Jan 13, 2004 5:50 PM Ben, I'm sorry to hear about the pain and misery and the fact that you got denied disability, the man is trying to bring you down! On the other hand I'm glad to hear that your feeling better and about ready to start carving again. It would be a serious shame if you didn't. I'm really glad that you found TC and I hope you stick around and enjoy it. It's obvious that you have been welcomed with open arms. I'll try to come and see you within the next month. Oh, and I never thought you were trying to get free use of my art, it never even crossed my mind.
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Tue, Jan 13, 2004 7:21 PM Thanks, I'm used to the pain (40 years worth) Within the next month sounds great, I get a Spinal Cord Stimulater put in this Friday and that should help a lot too. Finding TC has really helped a lot , I can't believe how this site has Awakened things I thought were gone. I guess some of the "Ancient Ones" aren't done with me yet. We'l see.
