Hey FO. (Haha)

I'll check that out for sure.
Do you have gallery space in SJ, or work out of SJSU or SCU?

is there a pic of your work ?

Gigantalope,
You are awsome for being my first TC connection! Let me know what you think! Thanks!
I work out of my space at home in down town Campbell.

Hey FlickOn, it was nice to spend the morning with you.

Funny about the pieces at the WORKS, they wide variety makes it easy to not notice the details of other pieces.

I thought the Nut piece was interesting, but would not have paid it much attention by itself.

Further, as I told you, the treatment of the actual fiber of the coconut gave it a Korean Ceramic appearance.

After seeing the pieces that were in progress where the green coconut shape was manipulated, and the treatment of the husks of others showcased different methods, I liked the Tiki Nut piece more.

I think the piece would be much stonger (displayed) if the viewer saw several different ones. By itself the nut won't show all the subtle work done to it.

When choosing a medium that's unusual, there is a reward for the viewer when they know that "this guy has taken this as far as it can go."

I liked it quite alot, and look forward to a series, and a theme show (with Pina Coladas)

Cheers

Gigantalope,
You Da Bom for making out to the Works Gallery. You Da Man for bringing beers to my home studio. You Da Main Dog for your critique of the Tiki Nut! - Thanks -

I am working on a red Tiki Nut next. When I have a more things ready maybe we can find some other SF Bay area Tiki creators who would like to pool forces to do a Tiki Centric showing in the South Bay. If we have a group, I think we can get a show rolling here.
:drink: Pina Coladas will be on me! :drink:

The Tiki Nut photos will be uploaded here in minutes.

Peace

I say beanie hat with thick sideburns.
if only smaller and more of them, I could make a Hawaiian lei. :)

But actually it looks clean, simple and probably different to each beholder. A good idea for coconuts.

I don't get it???
Good Luck with the show, Anyway!!!

How creative! I'm in Louisiana, so won't be able to see the show, but the piece is great! It's comical to me, and I love art that makes me smile. (love the sideburns comment)

Keep up the good work.
