When I first saw the suitcase I couldn't figure out how it could have been posted. No one else has seen it, nor would they have a pic of it. Thanks for the compliment, you to Miles. This might be a better pic:

Flounder, I noticed on your site that it describes your work as Lowbrow art. I am curious how Lowbrow Art applies to your work? I don't necessarly think of my tiki art as lowbrow but alot of my other works like the seven deadly sins with cartoon charaters definitely falls into that catagory. Any time you bring religion and cartoons into the same catagory I think it makes it lowbrow. Under my Playa's section you will find the same. "A movement to make art lacking highly cultivated and intellectual tastes acceptable"? There's a good definition of lowbrow here: http://www.picklebird.com/definitions.php Do you think that my work doesn't fit into this catagory or were you just asking what it was. Also, hurry up and post something again so your not stuck at 666 Post.
D DawnTiki Tiki Socialite next stop Hulaville! Joined: Sep 01, 2002 Posts: 1679	D DawnTiki Posted posted on Thu, Jan 29, 2004 3:36 PM 666? Muahhahahah! I thought I knew what lowbrow art meant, but your work just didn't seem to fit the definition I had in my head. I always thought of lowbrow art more like thrift store art. But thrift store art is thrift store art...isn't it? I just think you are such a great talent. I consider myself very fortunate to have one of your paintings :tiki: [ Edited by: DawnTiki on 2004-01-29 15:38 ]

Flounders paintings are so real looking it's scary! The burlap background gives it such an interesting texture. I am very happy with the final product. They compliment each other very well.

K Kailuageoff Member Honolulu Lounge,Lewes, DE Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 1506	K Kailuageoff Posted posted on Sun, Feb 22, 2004 7:15 AM Yesterday, Wahine Marian and I had the rare opportunity to visit with Flounder and his soul-mate Meg in Cocoa. Flounder's place is not easy to find. He's way back in the woods where he can find complete isolation to work out his mad vision of tiki. Even so, we couldn't resist the chance to visit what we were sure would be a groovy loft. We wanted to see where Flounder puts on his beret and throws paint on burlap and canvas. Wow, were we ever stunned by the complete mastery he has achieved over his artistic environment. His abode is more than a studio, it is a complete statement of his oneness with the universal tiki. So thanks for having us over on such short notice yesterday Flounder, and for making an all out effort to clean up all the torn canvas and broken frames, so we could negotiate our way to your legendary easel.

We really love it and will hang it in an honored place. As I've said many times to you, the idea of putting your paint on burlap is genius. It provides a warm and aged appearance that is hard to describe without seeing it in person. We encourage anyone that is interested in your art to contact you and commission something.
