Now I think I'm barking up the wrong tree but would you consider doing a modern mug? I have Poptiki from Munktiki in mind and would quickly buy it (or trade) from you at the Hukilau or here at TC. Last time I was at the Mai Kai the gentlemen 1 stool down was singing praises of your work, apartenly just having bought one of your paintings.

This stuff harkens back to some of the first things I saw on ebay by you. I do remember a painting of a Frankoma that went out of my impoverished price range. Keep going! TG

You'll have to wrap these paintings extra carefully so that they don't get "broken" when you ship them to their lucky owners...

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sun, Feb 29, 2004 3:01 PM WOW! These are so delicious looking. You take my eye candy and by polishing and cleaning up the details you make it ten times yummier! The great classical painters distinguished themselves by having an eye for lighting, and you really SEE my lighting. I was lucky to have over ten years of gaffing and cinematography experience when I began my still photography of Tiki style, and so I knew how to make my mugs glisten, gleam, and glow. They are lit by Kino Flos, a lighting system developed by German Canadian Gaffer Frieder Hochheim during the shooting of "Bar Fly" (how appropriate to use them for Tiki mugs). Their "sheen" highlights really bring out the sculptural qualities of the mugs.

B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Sun, Mar 14, 2004 5:31 PM Thanx Kooche. Flounder sounds like a show you need to be in. Do you do any local shows? Went to the "Art Under the Oaks" show in Vero this past weekend and it was Very impressive except there was not 1 piece of Tiki anywhere. Beautiful venue for a show tho.

I really don't have anything to show though. I need to restock. Ben, I use to do shows in Orlando, but I quit doing them in 1997 ( I did 17 shows that year) I was burnt out. I plan to pound out some new work this week before heading down to meet Ben and go to the Mai Kai.

8T 8FT Tiki Tiki Socialite Kansas City, MO Joined: Nov 30, 2003 Posts: 1411	8T 8FT Tiki Posted posted on Fri, Mar 26, 2004 11:17 AM To Flounder: Well my man, the Frankoma Ku painting arrived yesterday and we couldn't wait to open the package. I have to say with all sincerity that you are a very gifted fellow. Mrs. 8FT is so delighted to have this for our home! We spent several minutes looking at it from close up to far away and in different lighting so that we could get a real feel for the best place to put it. What fun it was to receive this great painting. Thank you so much!!!! Mr. & Mrs. 8FT Tiki To The TC community: Seeing this mans work in person is fantastic. Just let me say that this painting is so amazing because you really get such a 3D effect from it. Seems as if you can walk over and pick up that mug! If you ever have a chance to obtain an original Flounder piece...DO IT! Those of you who are fortunate enough to be able to attend Hukilau and see his art there know what I mean. Anyway thanks a lot.

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Mon, Apr 5, 2004 12:14 PM I'm the proud owner of the Steve Crane painting! It just arrived in today's post, and what can I say - it looks absolutely amazing! It's so well painted that even examining the fine brushstrokes closely, it's difficult to see how such a realistic painting can be achieved. Once the Lono Lounge is fully operational, I'll give it pride of place. (And post a photo of it hung up) Cheers Flounder! Trader Woody [ Edited by: Trader Woody on 2004-04-06 17:37 ]
