Tiki torches and new paintings

Its been a while… I haven't gone anywhere just busy with the little one.
I have been painting up a storm don't know if I'm getting any better but still trying.
i will be posting a hand full of things i have done lately and with the warm
weather i will be doing a lot more.

Here is a drink fink i picked up at Mahalo tiki in Rancho
had fun with it but now i don't want to drink out of it.

And this is my smoking monkeys in flaked helmets.

So I'm slowly tiki ing my back yard up i just did this mirror for my patio

And did a hear no evil see no evil speak no evil monkey set because of
how much fun i had doing the motor bike monkeys

Mahalo

Here are a few pics of the tiki bar mirror in progress, and some close ups.

These lovely little tiki torches were inspired by sailor jerry.
