S suburbanpagan Member southern cal Joined: Jan 02, 2004 Posts: 826	S suburbanpagan Posted posted on Sun, Jul 29, 2007 8:23 PM OK!........and now back to the subject at hand! Some more refinement on the vines/wisps and some perspective tweaking and just trying to knock it into shape!

I ivanchan Member www.ivanchan.com Joined: Jun 26, 2007 Posts: 114	I ivanchan Posted posted on Thu, Aug 9, 2007 11:47 AM Heya Kev, It's been awhile! How has this painting been coming along? I like the latest pic of it here--all of it adds not only depth, but movement back and forth in the picture, rather than the usual side to side motion (I hope that makes sense). The vines have a life of their own which I like, as well as being part of a stylized motif. The gaping mouth of the tiki is wonderful, too--feels like he could swallow some souls! Hope you're doing well, man! Take care, I.
I ivanchan Member www.ivanchan.com Joined: Jun 26, 2007 Posts: 114	I ivanchan Posted posted on Thu, Aug 9, 2007 11:50 AM Oh, hey, I've been really out of the loop! I just saw the one earlier in this thread--the tilted one with the crown! Love the humor of that piece, as well as the moody strokes. They give such texture and ambience to the piece. I also like the composition--even though it's a three-dimensional image, the elements are arranged in almost a Cubist fashion. Fascinating. Take care, I.
S suburbanpagan Member southern cal Joined: Jan 02, 2004 Posts: 826	S suburbanpagan Posted posted on Thu, Aug 9, 2007 1:12 PM Hi La Esquina and Ivanchan! Thanks for the great words and cool observations! I went down a little more stylized path on these guys and I'm having fun going a different direction for a little bit! I have really slowed down the output lately due to a combination vacation schedules, a house that I am currently flipping, and a true creative down period! I accepted a long time ago that I don't put out art at a consistent pace but rather go through short bursts with lots of work then the barrel of the art gun gets too hot and I cool down for a while! I feel a new surge of creativity so I will be finishing the gaping mouth tiki and have started a new fire breather piece that I'll post soon! A big thanks for wondering how I'm doing, guys!

I ivanchan Member www.ivanchan.com Joined: Jun 26, 2007 Posts: 114	I ivanchan Posted posted on Fri, Aug 10, 2007 2:07 AM Wow! There's a feeling of "clay of creation" at this stage of the painting. Potential in each stroke as it gets defined. Thanks for sharing this--I look forward to seeing it develop! Take care, I.

I'm also digging the green tiki with the wispys green designs in the background. So are you totally working digitally now? Nothing on canvas or board? but.... how do you know what it'll really look like till u get a quality print out? right? U could print on canvas, and that'll look really nifty! Big aloha!
