I believe this piece will be known as the first piece of the "Poly Trop Freak Out Art Movement", and should be the ceiling in GROG'S Poly Trop restaurant.

I don't look at the dead thread cuz I read about it in the paper anyway but the inventor of LSD died recently, or maybe I shouldn't say died. There is no death, only a changing of worlds. COOL! Your paintings give me flashbacks. [ Edited by: Jungle Trader 2008-06-27 20:05 ]

Feel free to print one out and show to Riki! Hope it makes his day! Jungle Trader-did i ever do acid? to be truthful,from about 82 til around 92 i dabbled in everything but the kitchen sink... Didn't find much that wasn't already upstairs.... I was always the guy painting while the rest of the gang would wander around the neighborhood at 3 am tripping out..... Glad i could give you some flashbacks! Dunno how far Turlock is from Costa mesa-but if you make the trek to the Tikifreakout show this july19th I will guarantee a mind-blowing experience! raves-shhhhhhhhhhh! don't advertise my secret art leaks! I'm with you on the Night Dance needin to be a canvas! Mahalo! Thanks Brad! Glad i could jiggle your eyes and jar your brain! not that you need any jarring with the projects and paintings and delicious prints you've got going! Babs-Thank you,my friend! been wanting to do some stained glass for the longest time.... Since it was sooooo hard and the lead and all... i decided to adapt a style for it... just in case i ever meet a stain glasser! Marc Chagall created the BEST stained glass windows of the 20th century! They're freakin gorgeous! His interpretation of the 12 tribes of Israel are unsurpassed! Anyways, i did a seahorse and a stained glass octopus (i'll have to see if i have any photos of them... But i do have these other pics of some other stained glass style work...) here's a Stained glass Fish.. here's a butterfly for my wife.... here's one of the 4 "living creatures" around the throne of God in Revelation... They resemble a lion,an eagle, an ox, and a man... i think they're the same fellows as in Ezekiel's vision..a special class of angel.... anyways i did the Lion one....they have multiple wings and eyes "all about" them denoting swiftness and insight....The stained glass style was perfect because it captured an otherworldly fell. and here's a stained glass sea monster! RAWR! wish i had a shot of the octopus.....it was purdy cool! Anyways,got a new battery,so I'll be posting painting pix soon! Tally-Ho!

Also made a few leaps with the "Guardians of the Plumeria" i'm showing it square so i can get it bigger if i showed it diamond configuration it would have to be smaller... here's a quick roundabout ,then details and finally we'll travel into......

My name is Ken and I've been painting and drawing tikis since about 1990,first for some surf labels I used to work for,now for my own dern self! I saw Disney's tiki room when I was very young,and then later mixed that with comic books and being drawn to Oceanic arts,both from a cultural perspective and a fine art angle.It still amazes me how many primitive cultures (from the Marquesan's to early Minoan-Cyclades to Inuit-potlatch to....) really have a superb tradition of abstraction. Look at the Maori's blend of decorative and symbolic pictoral elements and you wonder if all this smog and city has robbed us of our true genius potential.Sorry! I'm just an enthusiastic new member who'd like to chat and meet with other members to share art and stories and spread the tiki love.I'm currently finishing up a tiki series I've been working on.I'll post something soon to share.Do you post artwork here or in the making tiki-other crafts area?I'm a newbie so etiquette is very important on making a lasting impression! Anyways...Glad to join the family! If you'd like to see some of my paintings,go visit http://www.kenruzic.com and tell me what you think! Mahalo!

(insert the beginning of Bach's Mass in B-minor....) Here's how i'll be displaying it on the wall.... excuse the slight glare-i used a satin finish to give it a deeper lustre.... here's a little twirl-a-round tour of the painting to give you an idea of the multiple combinations this puppy can unfold..... that kind of gave you a clearer picture of the multitudes hidden within! More tikis per square foot than any painting i know of....yet! Now let us descend (or ascend) into the.... EYE OF THE PUH-LOO-MERE-RIA-MERIA-MERIA-MERIA! that was supposed to be an echo.. go back and do it again! GO! Closer.... ENGAGE! LOCK! Here's the orongo/moas flanking a jolly faced fellow and the flipside of them..... Flip! get the picture? the fun part of these is that each guy is a wee bit different-they all got their little personalities and stuff! Here's some more Flipsy-Dipsys! and of course.....who could forget the corners? more flippy-tricks! teaKs-hope you been counting! i think these ones make the funniest faces with those big orongo eyes..and the pinky tongue! Slurp! :lol: the above one is my favorite...the eyes on the midsection under the arms make great nostrils! Here's an Ultra close-up so you can see some of the twinkly stars i put in the background...makes it more COSMICky,eh? and of course, there's no celebrating after it's done because..... you still gotta paint the sides! GRRRRRRRRRR! and this is what an artist looks like after checking and double-checking a painting for anything i missed... I rely on Ernie to point it out to me at the Opening Reception! GOOD NIGHT!
