Haven't had time to scan in those drawings,but will soon,so hold tight! this is the week before Ben's Nooner so time is tight! After i talk a spell with y'all we'll get down to lookin at some of those goodies for the Nooner! Amy,Mahalo for the visit and all, my dear! Those bowls were really fun to paint! I sealed em so they could be used as actual bowls for parties and stuff! :) Jim-Thanks pal! I like the retro feel of both of em.. I'll get a good scan soon,i promise! there's a little 3-D effect on it you gotta see! :) Great performance at Don's,by the way! Lake! Less than a week old chum! Will be fun AFTER the vending to just chill and be able to relax with all youse arteestos! Stoked that you caught some inspiration from some of this junk! :) "explore and create a subject that I was never really into before now." Very exciting! BRING IT! mp-Welcome again to TC.. I like the unique approach you've brought to your ceramics! A breathe of fresh air is always welcome here! Thanks for actually poring over all that old stuff..pretty funny moments once-in-a-while!Thank you for the visit and sayin nice stuff! :) Markusk! I have my own time machine sir and i use it liberally! I'll get a scan of those moai harassed by the sea monster fish for you very soon!It looks better bigger! Thanks for mentioning the work behind the thread....it does get exhausting,but hey! Why do it and keep it locked in a dusty studio? better to share and inspire! Iokona Ki'i- hello Jason! hello Claudette! Thank you kind Sir! I guess we'll see you at the Nooner,too! Should be quite fun! Down's Syndrome hula Girl! :lol: so wrong! :lol: Robb!-the loafer! :lol: puns are great! I wish black velvet adorned more surfaces so you could paint them! black velvet RH bowls would be waaaaay kewl! Clarita! inspiration is everywhere! but sometimes you need special glasses! Squid,dear that he is acquired an extra pair from a leprechaun! So guess who got that pair? :) Wow! what are all these signs saying OBEY and CONSUME all about? :lol: (if you never saw THEY LIVE,you need to...) jpmartdog-thank you for the visit and for lovin the bowls! Hau'oli Tiki-everyone can create! it's just the practice part that nobody can keep up! All my prices are reasonable,as you will see at the Booben nooner...i like people to own the work,to have it in their homes,and i price it accordingly....Remember,a few of these are a little more top-shelf and will be priced as such,but the majority are DEALS! DEALS! DEALS! Well, first off....those weren't magical inspiration glasses...they're magnifying/jeweler's lens like the Diamond exchange uses...and Bowana...and Squid.. and others who journey to the realm of detail and miniature! Plus, they really liven up a wardrobe... well, it's been a long while since i did a COUNT THE SKULLS piece for funnies... So, donning my new magical microscopic glasses of magnification, i attempted a Cannibal/Shrunken head Village! here is a sneak peek before the scan... here's some teeny tiny details! the cannibal idol on the hill! some carnage..... a big hut... Bigger hut and Palm tree decoration! smaller hut.. the big ol' shrunken head in the foreground... Also did some woodburns for the Nooner.... "Happy Tapa Man" close-up "the Sunny Day" a lil woodburn/abstract experiment.. close-up Here's a Maori woodburn,tinted with ink close-up "3 Shields" with a bamboo Ben frame! (painted over an old piece that bugged... detail! "Baby and toy" "Dancing boy" "Feast day" "the Jolly fellow" "PNG Boy" "PNG Moderne" "the Singing Shield" and finally "the Tongue Wagger" here they all are on the floor of the studio! Awaiting final QC check/name-pricetags/hanging stuff on the back and final coat of varnish/sealant! Tough week ahead,but I'll see y'all on Sunday!

The flow and energy in your pieces is excellent. Lively, with a feeling of movement. I can hear music when I look at them and imagine them coming to life when the Tiki bar is closed. I too would love to see a bar that you designed all the elements of. I think it'd rival the Enchanted Tiki Room. I'm also especially impressed with is how the majority of the pieces don't look rushed or created as quickly as they apparently are. (You don't have some sorta time stopping device that lets you continue working wile the resta the world is froze? Like in The Fermata?) Your confidence of line, original vision, and creative uses of non traditional materials should be a source of inspiration for anyone hoping to create great Tiki art. Well, that's the word over at kinkytikipeople.org

I hope others are taken away as well,transported to SUPERHAPPYFUNLAND or wherever they go when overjoyed... Dunno if a psychotic man-child designed Tiki Room would rival the ETR... maybe for acid-casualties... no time-stopping device,it's all about discipline and just lovin art and being curious enough to always scratch a little bit deeper... I think the consistency just comes from doing it ALOT EVERYDAY if i can I get about 5-7 "duds" per 100 pieces,and they're usually detected 1/4 of the way in... Thanks again for all the thought-provocation throughout TC... I hope to meet you someday only for an hour so we don't get on each other's nerves! :lol: Iokona Ki'i-YOU and Claudette be on Fiyah! you two are like an art power-couple!

Art Swap 2009 piece... the theme is PNG! http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=32054&forum=18&start=0&97 "Walk thru the Jungle" 16 1/2" tall by 6" wide sumi and gold ink,gouache on Aquarelle Water paper (100% cotton!) i simply love saying that! This one started as TWO gents but like i said,this has been a week of FALSE STARTs but i think i done waded thru the molasses! Here's up close... Started one of them Super-Secret projects and ended up having to wash it off and start anew... so i dumped the Super-Secret piece and finished this for the Hukilau Art show... I was told the theme is polypop architecture... so i made this up..somewhere i'd like to live... did acrylic washes of payne's gray first to get the initial forms and lighting.. Close-up... LET THERE BE COLOR! (well, after 5-6 hours the color begins to build up.. Here's the whole piece... "Imaginary Tiki Palace" acrylic on canvas Close-up Condo unit on top.... Don't really know or care if this is Neo-Tiki or Poly-pop probably Poly-poop...but it was fun to paint!:lol: I thought by combining different tikis from diff places that they would all be forced to get along and also that the interior could be SUPERHAPPYTIKIOVERLOAD! the perfect Tiki Palace! for me, at least..

I really like the toned down light colored FG, MG, and BG so you can really see all the goings on. Shows great restraint. And the minimal colors elsewhere. So many goodies as far as the eye can see! Easy to get lost in. The piece for "Hukilau" is another smash! Great seeing you at the Nooner! Oh yeah! Here's a couple of snaps of our latest adoption from said party...sorry Mr. Hamel! :D Along with the totem piece we got a while ago! Bruddah Bruno digs it too! Room for one more on the totem! Sweet!

Love the 5150 headhunter! Why is he so angry? Did someone steal his mojo? Did his woman use too much starch on his loincloth? Ants in his Koteka? Sure wish I knew what the story was on him. We can live beside the ocean Leave the fire behind Swim out past the breakers And watch the world die. [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2009-06-01 16:32 ]
