Hey, is that our very own Martiki in the second image with the Fez? Looks just like him.

Who ever he is, he's one lucky Joe to be sharing the Mystery drink with the cutie.

3rd in the series.

Wow...You're on a creative roll! Carving, painting...Man, there's no stopping you!
I love the comic style, you make it seem like the images are really moving and we caught them on one frame out of a series. Very cool work!

Polynesiac, you described this style better than I could. I'm going to use it on my site. Thanks.

I like them all, but I must admit " bone drummer is my favorite".

I have received a few emails from TCers asking what I plan to do with these images. I wasn't sure at first, but have decided to paint them on canvas in series of 25 each. Each of the 25 will be an actual painting and numbered in sequence.

I don't recall seeing a painting offered as 25 originals before, but this may be a case of thinking outside the box.

What do you guys think?

Monkeyman, I will be in touch for more frames.

DonĀ“t know if you would call each of the 25 "originals"...maybe"reproductions" or "original reproductions" is a better term, since the first one made is the original, all others are copies or reproductions of the original.

Usually when one thinks of owning an original painting, the thought is that there is only one like it in the entire world.

Nice work. I really love the Volcano and Wahine. I'd be interested in prints....

ToonToonz,
Yeah, this would be something new, not quite as valuable as a one-of-a-kind, yet certainly better than a print (canvas or paper). Is there a market? I'll let you know.

Kanaka,
I will be painting 25 copies of each design on canvas. I'll figure out a fair price after I've painted one or two. I'll keep you posted.

I'd think twice before I gave the Monkey another rum cooler, especially with the Hula dancer shakin her but around.
Really cool. InstantLikalikalikalikeee

I really like your work nice fishy.

Thanks Benz, & Unga. More to come.

Nice Fishy,
This is a neat idea, but more important is that if you think it is a good idea you should try it. I know that I would consider them as 25 originals, especially if I painted them, since I would never get them to be the same even if I tried. Won't you get bored, though? I don't know about the relative value, since this stuff all is worth what you can get someone to pay for it, when all is said and done. But over history most artists tend to paint the same themes and scenes lots of times and haven't seemed to suffer from it, so I say do it.
