cy - Well, I went fishing for some kind worlds of encouragement, and I've very happy to have nabbed a few. I spend 99% of my time alone, trying to focus on that nebulas thing that will get me to a place where I can "MAKE da' ART"… not always easy. So, when I suddenly have to deal with one, or with a room full, of folks who all wanna' talk about MY art, or MY paintings, I have a bit of that "introvert" gets thrown into a an "extrovert" environment. ….Onto nightmares, and dreams. This painting on this Skate deck is following a "Dream" I had about painting this skate deck! I'm trying to pant it like it was in the dream - really tricky stuff! Nothing seems like the dream, sort of! Then sometimes it all does! Weird!
I found out after my first pass of the "wall of skulls" that many of them went off in a "goofy looking" direction, and I had to go back over each and every one and make sure it "looked" serious, or at least, as good as that particular skull could look. Yes, I have read H. P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu". It's one of my favorite stories; it inspired me as a teenager, and is still doing so now. More laters! |

Aloha Tiki Tribe! "SCAREDY CAT" on Newspaper and and Pulp.
So, I discovered if I made a big mistake on the painting on the New paper, it's best, because the medium is so thin, to use another layer to cover the mistake and paste it down and re-paint over that. I decided to use some pages from an ancient paper back book of horror stories from my favorite American Horror/fantasy author: H.P. Lovecraft. I occurs to me that this story was written about 100 years ago now. Stands the test of time. One of my all time favorites. |

Swizzle don't take over where Atomic Tiki Punk left off. I for one comment on Tiki Art Sharks thread. The amount of effort that goes into making a thread is a lot of work. Especially for a very busy artist. I love this thread and even when I don't comment each time I look at every post. I feel as if I keep my painting skills fine tuned by looking at his step by steps. I also love the sunsets of Hawaii and every thing else he shares. If you watch the number of views rather than the number of posts you'll see this is a very popular thread. Please Tiki Art Shark keep posting. Swizzle I love you too. Wendy |

LLT ~ Thank you for the kind words. It's the scariest thing to put your art out into the world and have it looked at, and judged, especially before finished. I started posting on TC because of you. Your posts inspired me. You ARE my hero. [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2016-03-17 08:02 ] |

What? I don't even know what a "wanker" is. If you see stuff you may not dig, don't freak-out and be an idiot, just go on till you find a studio with Art that you like. Talk to that Artist if you want to. Ask how they do what they do. Let them know you love their Art. Information shared. Support given. Maybe even buy a piece. ( ! ) Artists here are struggling. It's extremely hard to make a living as an artist. Some here are still fighting to turn a hobby into a career. It's a hell of a lot of work. To become a successful gallery artist is one of the hardest job paths you will ever find. You have one in a thousand chance of making it, if that. The work is crushing. It takes away most of your life. No more TV. Ever. Your personal life suffers. You are painting all the time. You are fighting to keep your space in a gallery that excepts you. You agonize over every new piece - is it good enough? Is it Low Brow Art? Does it have a meaning? Is it "Tiki" enough? Is it offensive to Hawaiian culture? Is it as good as the new piece by so-in-so who's hanging in in the same group art show? The mental pressure and stress destroys people. What do you think happened to The PIZZ? He was hanging in Museums! Still he battled stress we could not fathom. I show my "art in progress" here, if you like it or not - you can look or not. If you got questions or criticism about my art, I am happy to listen & answer & even take advise. I never require responses from folks who just wanna' watch. I enjoy critiques from folks, who know me, or know about Art, or know about Tiki. LLT often tells me exactly what I'm doing wrong, and I cherish Kenny's criticism. GROG gives the greatest Art Direction and has helped me greatly many many many times. But, being told I'm a "wanker"? First off, I'm still not even sure what that word "wanker" means. What are these bad feelings about having to get more replies or not? When did the art studios on TC become a popularity contest? Ya' know what? This has taken the fun out of TC for me. I got way too much pressure in my life to create Art now. I really don't want to worry about these bad vibes from non-artists, about why or how I'm using TC. I have a horrific amount of Art to create before April 1st. I don't have time for this. Not sure I'll post here anymore. |

Brad, please don't let one random, negative comment make you upset. You have way over one and a half million views on this thread and this should be an indication that more people love your art and come here to enjoy it and read what you have to say. I know I love your artwork & I have one of your prints on my wall. Hope you change your mind. We love your posts. |

My original comment has been removed at the request of another member (before i saw the new post), even though i now see Brad has quoted me so it still remains. I have sent Brad a PM explaining why i made that comment and although i'm not going to explain why i said it here in the open, i made that comment for my own personal reason/s which i stand by. The comment was uncalled for, but what is done is done. If he can't get over it and chooses to no longer post here then that's his choice. [ Edited by: swizzle 2016-03-17 18:00 ] |

Hey, it's a great surprise to find you here tonight. I haven't been to U-Tube very often but after watching your first video listed I searched out and watched #1 through #7. Are there others? Congratulations on getting a full page and many quarter pages on Spectrum. Also in one video I saw your 6 pack, impressive for both of these accomplishments. I too like sunsets but I've not painted very many. I think that doing the pug dog to go with your cat painting is wonderful. I like the tiki in the background looking like a black velvet painted tiki. I am bummed that I forgot you were on the Big Island we were there in November. We did visit Kozy's gallery which was so cool. Anyway keep these coming. It was almost like a visit with you, Wendy |
