thanks all,
OK this is only tangentially about my 'craft', but last night we held and impromptu art circle meeting at THE RUZIC's studio with East-Coast Caroline, Kiki, The Ruzic, Squid and your humble raconteur.
we discussed the upcoming OHANA tiki event that Caroline is helping out with in NY state. looks like a hoot and 3/4.
we discussed Squid's attendance there as something of a CELEBU-TARD! Will he bring his drumming utencils???????
we discussed Kiki's new venture, dress patterns sized for today's woman (so crazy, it just might work!), and she also measured me for my very own KUSTOM Hawaiian Paniolo shirt (joy!). I will post pics when i get em.
and ofcourse, we discussed THE RUZIC's new squid paintings and the inspiration thereof (which apparently has something to do with the ancient Mediterranean Manoan culture...who knew!
anyhoo, here's some pics:
somber mood of artistic discourse
more light-hearted mood of (sic) tom-foolery
yikes, i have a bit of SQUID protruding from my ear.
thanks for stopping by!
Uncle Toesy

Yay, Toe!
You realise that ear mollusks are a very treatable condition. Rum tends to be applied liberally, a few times a day.
Oh, and thanks again to you & ken!

dang, i really DO need to get to my Moai, but i n the meantime, here are the 3 new paintings i showed at the Tonga Hut 51st anniv car show shindig.
Big Mahalo to Atomic Kitty for putting the show together...free rum good..
"Eye Spy", 14 X 14", acrylic on Canvas. this first one was a little sumthin for the hotrod fans, part of a set of paintings done in the method of one of my favorite artists, Damian Fulton.
"Seafood", 12 X 12", acrylic on Canvas. Another Damian Fulton style. the composition is from a a painting by comic super-star Frank Cho. i was inspired to do a squid by Dave Lozeau and "The Ruzic".
finally, the only TIKI! "Da Hui", 12 X 12", acrylic on Canvas. Another Damian Fulton style.
They are all still available. PM for TC discount price. First come, first served and so forth.
Mahalos for checking them out.

Sounds like a forgotten Dr. Suess classic! 
Great seeing you at Tonga Hut! Dig the new works.
And we love our sticker too! Rock on Toesy!

I love "Eye Spy" too! Nothing like an excreting eyeball flying over the township in a creamy yellow sky, I say! Tres cool. And I really like how you've shaded out the edges and painted 'round the sides, so we get a spectacular wraparound. I <3 my wolf sticker too! Aahhhhh-oooOOOHHHHHhhhhhh!!!
