well, today has been great day.
I had a brief meeting with the owners of the Tahitian Inn, where I did the big tikis last year. They are very happy with the response from their customers about the tikis, and they're ready to take it to the next level.
I'm working up a proposal for them at their request, but they were very agreeable in regards to the rough numbers I was throwing at them.
It's a huge honor to have one of the oldest on-running polynesian establishments in Florida as my own personal canvas. I now see the Tahitian as the ultimate local display of my work. And although it's not the Mai Kai or anything, I plan on making it a Florida tiki landmark.
I am very stoked!

thanks guys...yeah I'm liking the "tiki modern"...
surfs up!
and this is quite a swell...
Unfortunately I needed to give today a miss because I reopened the gash in the top of my foot the other day and it needs another day or 2, plus I committed to an art show tomorrow, but I'll be on it monday for sure...
I gotta go out and finish that marq for tomorrow's show.

it's monday for me Nixxy...I've got an art show tomorrow...I thought you were supposed to be taking it easy? Don't go getting yourself hurt bro...
anyway, finished up the "little tahitian" today...and yeah, I saw the unfinished nose tat after I posted this pic on facebook, and have since fixed it...
the "aloha room mods" do not look pleased that the rude, crude & tattoo'ed tahitian has crashed their little porch party..

I've been on the surf all weekend and can barely lift my arms. Well over head and offshore winds. It was a hard adjustment going from no surf to waves like this.

yeah, looks like I missed it.
between re-opening the gash on my foot & then the art show I blew it.
And NOAA is saying that today's winds are 25 to 30 knots...
damn it.
