Yes, and they could be the bullies of the Sponge Bob neighborhood. Put a kick me sign on Sponge Bob, jalapenos in his hamburger. I've been on this monkey kick lately, I have to get it out of my system. As a kid I wanted a monkey for a pet, who did'nt, that ended when I found out they had to wear diapers all of the time. Who wants a monkey running around the house wearing a diaper? It's just not right.
Teaky, hewey and Ben. Thanks I appreciate your comments.
Ona, that would be very cool.

I hate to sound repetitive but.....
I just never get tired of seeing your stuff. So vibrant and crisp. Whimsical and fun.
The event organizers are lucky to have your participation.

Sounds like that monkey needs to be spanked!
Monkeyman couldn't have said it better--vibrant, crisp, fun, whimsical. I wish I could live inside one of your paintings-or maybe just visit every now and then!

Doug,
Rec'd my prints last week. They are great. Forbidden Island and Legends.
I'm gonna build some bamboo frames for them. Hopefully, I can find my charger for the camera and I'll post picks soon, more likely latter.
Thanks,
Mr. NoNaMe

Hey Swamp Fire - very nice work mate - you have a style that brings out the subject - makes it pop outa the picture -the poster makes me want to grab a tiki mug fulla grog and sit down with the monkey and beat the drums. So much talent!

I'm diggin' the Catalina poster Swamp Fire and I was wondering what drink that fish was jumping out of. Do you have an official cocktail concoction? We just brought home a Doug Horne Kon Tiki rededication mug and we aren't sure what he likes to drink.
He is a feisty little bugger though and quite frequently I find him out in the garden picking fights with the cacti.
But at night he likes cruisin' around town on our skateboard. Sometimes he brings home other lady tiki mugs, which we don't mind, but he always leaves them shattered the next morning. Quite the heartbreaker.
Cheers!

He is a Scamp, the other day mine took the car out for a joy ride and was busted for a DUI. I could have re-glazed the SOB when he got home. I've found if you put a strawberry daquery (sp) in him he calms down quite a bit. Thanks for sharing those special moments with your Kon Tiki mug.

Simply sweet stuff, Swamptiki! I'm a fool for that flying saucer genre, and it looks great mixed with tiki. A very cool piece!
