Lookin good Kirby. These ought to brighten up some of our local home tiki bars. Don't stop now, you'er on a roll.

Kirby, those are terrific!! The added tiki is just the right touch. But by far the one I love the most is the one with the tiki holding the torch facing the sunset. Very good stuff.

Cool and colorful stuff, kirby. There's also a good variation of styles - both of which are very good!

Master Ben, I love my new bar. It was a pleasure meeting you and mrs. ben. Your top notch and a hell of a bamboo craftsman. I will definatly look forward to meeting up for sum paint and absenth... halla...

The addition of the tiki to the tidal wave painting really takes it up a notch. Nice work.

I realy like your stuff too thanx man!!

heya kirb,

I'm totally diggin' your surrealistic tropical paradise pictures - very cool.

Also I REALLY like the border on that last tiki mask painting - the highlights and the bold color really make it stand out. That wood grain is cool too...nice art and glad to hear that you got some hangin' and sellin. that's always a nice thing!

Keep up the great works Kirby. And ignore the post above who's only post have been negative ones.

Thanx rodeo your a good chap.

I just thought it was funny. If its insults that he/she wants to dish out, let him/her, at least there poetic. But to fit in here most artists need to incorperate a lil tiki in there art so i deside to help him out a bit...

I would say it like this...

As vision reqires "TIKI", art requires "TIKI.

Nice work Kirby, I dig the art you are putting out also. Nice variety of styles and techniques.
Great job of fixin' up Mr Happy's post which lack any creativity, style or aloha whatsoever.
Keep it up Braddah,

Fetish, how many days are left in your " thought of the day" planner? Please use them all up now....

Fetish, your analogy is poor. The relationship between the pairs doesn't match. A more apt analogy might be:

As vision requires sight, art requires an easel

Keep trying though. As with most newbies here in Creating Tiki, your work should improve by leaps and bounds. And we're always here to offer constructive criticism.

Yep, I'm lovin' it! Kirby, we gotta talk...

(Seeing as how I've purchased some of your work before, it would be nice to actually OWN a piece myself!)

Kirby, your carvings look a lot like your paintings. That's something another TCer pointed out to me about Tikitony's carvings and paintings. I like the Tiki/Poker tie-in. Cool stuff - keep it up!

thanks aaron ,I think that is a goal to have my personality and style fuse together in my art sum how so when you look at one of my peices you will know
it is un mistakenly....KIRBY.

By the way tiki tony is one of the most talented artists around and to be half as good as he is would be awsome. He is a hell of a nice dude also.
thanks again

Really cool stuff Kirby!! I like your Carving Too!!! I look forward to meeting you one of these days. Maybe at the "Castaway Lounge"
Later,
Spermy

cool!

monkeyman, your a man of few words but coming from you that means the alot to me...

Love your newest, Kirby, along with everything else you've done. Don't stop!

I had the pleasure of meeting Kirby and his girlfriend Polly at Dr. Z's house last night. Kirby is a real nice guy. He brought one of his paintings with him (for Z's Casaway Lounge & Casino) and it even looks better in person. He also brought some of his tiki pendants he has been working on. He let me pick one out so I thought I'd post it here.

So I wanted to thank you Kirby!! I will be wearing this necklace, alot! I hope to hang out with you again in the future.
Later,
Scott

Very cool . Kirby your a multi talented Guy it looks like. Keep em' coming.

(15x30)acrylic on canvas

Hey Kirby, great new piece! You seem to be getting better and better...Good job!

Your on your way Kirby. I still think that the painting on pg.4 with the big wave is your best though. I like that you added the tiki later on as well. A painting is never done!

Lookin' sharp, kirby. I love the '70s overtones in this one!

That dune buggy is great :)
