R RenTiki Member Orange, Burnt O.C., Crispy Calif. Joined: May 05, 2003 Posts: 74	R RenTiki Posted posted on Wed, Jul 9, 2003 12:17 PM Ok, first, thank you all for the compliments! I've been viewing most of your artwork also and it is flattering to me to hear this from you talented crazy nuts! :wink: Second; Bamboo Ben; No problem. Can do that in the next few days. I think I will be down there this weekend. Im in the city of Orange. I was raised in HB. Went to Dwyer then HBHS. Im like, old. Not sure how old. I think Im 41? Hmmm. Refer for beer,huh? Cool. What kinda beer? Lowenbrau? Rolling Rock? Or Mickey's Big Mouth? Do they still make that? LOL! Third, thank you BK. Its nice to hear a compliment also from you. Fourth, um.... prints? Wow, havn't even begun to think that far ahead! I just started painting about 6 months ago! Yes, I do have more.. I will try to post them today, my digi camera is acting fidgi. Maybe cause I spilled some bacardi on it? Hmm. Fifth, Thank you Bongofury. You will probably like my other painting of 3 Tiki dudes jamming on the bongos then..I'm gonna try that fidgi digi cam later and we'll see.. Sixth, Thank you the most, Jungletrader! You were the one that suggested I do this! :wink: This particular painting is at a friend of mine's shop waiting to be framed, and then displayed to be sold there. Its just taking alittle longer than expected due to his expansion of stores. (Jungle Safari) I plugged it a little while ago so check out announcements on Main discussion page. Seventh, Way cool image you did, Chongolio! I can relate to it totally! My mom worked at D-land for 15 years. Nothin but busloads of ornamental people. Nice people, but kinda focused on a little to much Mickey Mousesism. LOL Size of painting is approx. 32" wide by umm 45" high. Im kinda guessing. But its about that size. This is unframed size. Anyway, thanks again all for your supportive opinions! I raise my hand holding my mango margarita and say Mahalo!

Lots of tiki action - kinda' reminiscent of Flournoy Holmes* only with a much finer touch. I'm still "hoarding potential", but you guys are inspiring me to pick up some implements and get on with it. I for one would love a nice repro of that painting to go with my Ltd. Ee-dition BK® shrunken head mug...
C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on Wed, Jul 9, 2003 4:32 PM Feeling inspired, I busted out my digicam and took a couple pics of two of my most recent attempts at painting. I do not consider myself a painter by any means but I do enjoy making a mess and it does get me out of the computer mode. Here is one named after the Aquavelvet 's song "Summer at Dreampoint" And here is a painting that took me over 2 years to paint because I would get really frustrated with it then stash it out of site for months on end. (I must of reworked the girls face over 10 times) I recently spent some more hours on it out and finally got it to a point where I can at least live with it. I am calling this one "Island Girl" after the Eden Abhez tune. If you look close there is a tiki right next to the girls face. Thanks for peekin.

I think your not that much older, maybe physically. :wink: And Chongolio! Dude! Awesome artwork!! I love the way you create water!! I find it difficult to do that. What medium do you use? I use oils. Can't really work with anything else. Here's a couple more shots of another one I just completed. "Crusin'" My camera sucks. Gotta invest in a new one.

R RenTiki Member Orange, Burnt O.C., Crispy Calif. Joined: May 05, 2003 Posts: 74	R RenTiki Posted posted on Thu, Jul 10, 2003 12:07 PM Hey Bongofury! Wait till ya see the one Im finishing up today! It's called "The Tiki Trio" Bongo playing Tiki dudes. Cruzin; My art is for sale. It's being framed and will be sold at Jungle Safari in Santa Ana at South Coast Plaza. Don't have a phone number or address there yet. It just opened in June. Email me if you have any questions. [email protected] Or if you have a pic or idea, I can practically repro just about anything if I have a image of it. :wink: OH yeah, ems; I love your painting of the beach! Do you work with Terragen? I am quite familiar with that program. Won a contest last year using it! Bizarre image of a nude woman. I'm not sure if I can post it here... Its not really x-rated, just suggestive. Heehe. Thanks for the compliments all! Let's see more pics too! [ Edited by: RenTiki on 2003-07-10 12:10 ]
C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on Thu, Jul 10, 2003 1:19 PM Thanks for the compliments folks. I pretty much use mostly acryllic paints but dabble with mixed medias. Never tried oils, I already get paint everywhere as it is. I can imagine the mess I could make with paint that does not dry. I dont get to into the blending and shadowing because I am not very good at it and I am more of an Illustrator/ cartoonist than a painter. It also makes doing water a little easier. Aquavelvets are GREAT! If you ever get the chance to see them live jump on it! I do have the tiki hut CD by Miles. Very cool stuff indeed. Diggin all the art posted so far. I have done some 3-D modeling and animation in Bryce, strata and poseur but pretty much burned out on it. I would rather draw, carve or paint. I still appreciate the skills invloved and liked your image EM. Keep postin everybody, I kow there is more out there c'mon dont be shy. Chongolio

Of course I have no creative bones in my body, so I had to copy some of his. Here are some of my latest. Not sure what I will work on next. My room is plastered with these paintings. I had to start giving them away to my family and friends Aloha, Tahiti Jim

Hey ems; You know Bryce! You should try out Terragen, it's free and simple to use. If you want it just go to their website; http://www.terrasource.net BTW what are those little hieroglyphics at the bottom of your pics? Do they mean something? Where did you get them? I'm creating a painting right now with a cave and need some kind of writing above it. Where can I get something like them? Mimi, your fronds are really awesome! Got any more? Come on Centralites! I KNOW some of ya are still leary on showing your artwork, bring it on, we wont laugh. At least you wont know we will!! JK.
