Im keen to stuff happen again. Surf tiki sounds tops!

ok me and hewey will be the only ones having fun then...

I like summertime tiki or how about "swinging tiki" or "creepy tiki"? Hell, I don't know. Count me in though.

surf/summer time tiki sounds good to me.

How about midnight. Moon and stars.Sky is cloudless and stars are out????Along with some tikis there somewhere.Torch lights, zombies....

Underwater tiki? Subterranean tiki? Tikiiis iiiin spaaaaaace!!?

I did a search and didn't see that these had been done.

I'm up for whatever. Would like to participate this time, as well.

Here is the first one i did, and since I hear its more fun to surf with a pal I will be starting another one. Hopefully it gets done before the end of june.

Raffled this one off at the Lake Shore Surf Club 40th Anniversary party last year... hoping to create another surf tiki this summer!

These are some older images but what the heck. Here ya go:

I'm gonna be a wetblanket here...

Originally the idea of a monthly creating theme was to create new items based on the chosen theme. As much as I like seeing all these cool surf tikis, Ive seen most of them before.

Yes, it is cool to see them again and revisit them.

But, I really got a kick out of seeing the new stuff people came up with when it was run before. I felt it gave both the people involved and people just observing a kick seeing all this new tiki art created arround a common theme.

Thats my 2 cents anyway.

I agree with hewey , BUT I say, still feel free post your pics of the stuff that you have already posted becouse 1. It may inspire others to create sumthing new and 2.There may be peolpe who havent seen them before.

As Kirby said, posting old stuff is cool. I just want to kick people up the proverbial to try and make new stuff too (including myself!) rather than just posting only old stuff.

MM, That frame is killer and goes great with the Brophy!!!

That frame is insane. Great job.

Here's one I did today for the theme-of-the-month.
Just some colored pencils and an hour and a half to kill.

I like the idea but not how it translated into this image, yikes.
I'll try another tandem tiki surf thing tomorrow.

This is the first tiki I ever did. "The Other Surfing"

Hi gang!
Well I just created a post yesterday and joined the day before! Well, I posted this tiki surfboard while I was at work (shame on me-at worktime!)and when I get home from the studio I read this! Sorry I'm posting this picture again,but I thought it may stoke out some of you tiki surfers out there!

Monkeyman's frame for Brophy's board is the shizzle!
Ther is so much talent in this place! How inspiring!
Here's also a skimboard my friend gave me that I turned into a green tiki!
Mahalo!

Great design, artwork and technique. Very nice, welcome to TC.

I won this surfboard last year at the C st Long board competition in Ventura. It was shaped and created by Jeff of Parole Boards. My logo was designed and airbrushed on the board by Linda Cowell of Ventura.

Wow VT,

I was getting ready to ask how you made the tight radius bends in the bamboo when you pointed out that that is a real surfboard. SICK!!! That will turn some heads at your local break. I really like the shape too, kind of a mini-malibu.

Some bald dude dancing? How freaky! Shortly after I ordered 3 years worth of family photos from Shutterfly, my account has been acting real squirrelly. I don't have any pics of bald guys dancing.

Sorry for the strange interlude folks...back to art now.

I missed the bald dancing guy... :)

Heres my newest piece, fresh out of the oven (literally!)

Did you muss up the paper first?It looks so old and vintagey-almost like pen and ink on barkcloth-the stippling in there is intense!Go lightly as you don't want carpal tunnel in later years! Great work-captures the mood to a tee!

Sketched it in pencil, did the linework in ink. Coloured it in pencil, tore the edges, baked in oven. Be careful of getting oils from your hands on the paper - it browns at a quicker rate and results in fingerprints... Big problem for me cause I sweat a lot.

Hewey!
so it was the baking part that got that background texture!Would have never thought of that!I usually just stain the paper with available coffee or ink while wet!Thanks for sharing,man!Gonna have to try this soon!Thanks Hewey!
