Dont let the signature fool you. Its not done yet. I always sign my work before I am finished. Trick my brain into thinking that it mostly is, so I dont screw up or overwork it. Famous last words. Call it a superstition or a stupidstition. :D Mahalo!

If this is the concept for one of your new projects we talked about - the famous Luau tiki w/wahine - then brother, I think you're into a good thing here. Your sketches are amazing. Your finished paintings are amazing. Your contributions to modern Poly-Pop are required study for aspiring artists like myself. A tallyman thumbs-up! G PS: Prayors and positive energy for mom...
