thanks! there are going to be MANY MANY pieces included in this show...all shapes sizes and in every color of the rainbow...all put together to tell a story!

thanks for the feedback! i hope i see you in december!

It's a taco eating tiki! That's ME!!! well maybe it isn't but I can dream can't I ?

Kooche - your mind is one strange place...I love it!

I'm totally diggin' the pirate. And the shark. And the 6 armed, 2 legged, flame head octotiki...

Is this making anyone else hungry? It also makes me want a Tiki mug with real hair whiskers & a monocle...

I always wondered what powered 6 armed Tikis and now I see it's nuclear.

Love this piece.
The colors are incredible.

I want a drink.

Kooch, really kool. Don't you wish you had 6 arms like that? You could turn out 6 masterpieces at a time. As it is now you'll have to work 6 times as hard to catch up.

thanks you all

i just stepped in the door from Kauai where i got to stay for 6 nights in a small plantation town on the south side named Koloa...it was MIND BLOWING! what a lifestyle!

we plan to head back ASAP and when we do i think we'll try to stay put for a couple weeks to let the sun really soak us up and truly crush our mailander will...

while i was there i took a helicopter tour and was almost crying with joy as we took to the air...nothing like it...a native hawaiian named Gardener was giving us a tour of the garden isle...i felt like i was there with an old soul...he gave the grooviest tour i could imagine and i have to say it inspired me to learn a bit more about WHO the Hawaiian people are...where did they come from...so i picked up some literature that has given me an amazing new respect for the hardships that those ancient people lived by and weathered...all i could think when i was there was "my god"

i also found a serious payload of old records and a couple of shirts that will blow you away when i get a chance to flash them for you...

Lovin' your art. The first piece shown on this thread reminds me of some of my other favorite art, Huichol Indian yarn art. Best of luck with your show.

Miles, What can I say but SWEET. Very moving, It reaches, it touches, it slaps you in the face.
