I'll have to buy a new Family Truckster!
For those of you who own my iPhone/iPod Touch App TIKILANDIA there is an update out today.
A bunch of new art has been added! This is a free update but please note that due to the size of the file it can only be downloaded through wi-fi as per Apple's download rules!
For those of you who don't yet own it, TIKILANDIA is a collection of my art plus a magic 8 ball styled ASK THE TIKI GOD feature and can be bought for your iphone for a mere .99cents!
Here's the link!

I'm with MadDogMike...Tiki Road Trip!
When you paint it is like a carver as the tiki gains depth with each stroke. Wendy

Thanks Tiki Beat!
Thanks Greg! Glad you notice the composition details. I love that the Tiki has his back to the Hurricane. I feel there's something spiritual in the calm that's exhibited in both the chimp and the tiki in the midst of this storm. I don't think it was intentional from the start, at least not consciously, but I'm feeling it now everyday I paint it!
Thanks Wendy! A road trip is in the back of my mind...maybe soon!

Here's the latest. Worked Koshi some.
One of the reasons I love posting progress shots is that I look at the work in a wholly different way as I prepare to upload the pics. For example just now I noticed how Koshi's grip is way to tight on his mug, almost seems as if it's just a clenched fist. In all these days I hadn't noticed, until I snapped a close-up of him! Gotta work that tomorrow!
Once again...
SHAMELESS REQUEST!
Is there any kind soul who will be attending GOIN' PRIMITIVE this October who would be willing to pick me up a mug and ship it to me? I am totally in love the the Davey Wong/Grog mug for that event (the grey green one) and they will only be sold there...I would gladly pre-pay and of course cover shipping...and gladly throw in a print as a thank you! If so please message me!

Love it Robert!
You have to hold on tightly to what's important to you and I can tell that mug and drink are very important to Koshi!

Love the details Robert, the background storm is now taking on a little more of a sinister look. Regarding the hand, yeah I can see what you mean now that you pointed it out: there would be no room in that fist for the rest of the cup/mug, so it feels a bit odd. But man that is a minor detail for such a great piece. As always I really dig your fur texture and lighting; that is time consuming (as is all that grass wow).

Thanks Mike and Tigertail! The fur and the grass is quite time consuming but very rewarding to do. The hand is no big deal for sure but there's no such thing as a mistake with acrylics as they are so easy to fix!

Almost there!!
