About to post this over at the marketplace, thought I'd do so here as well. I'm adding 4 new prints to the Tiki Tower store. These will be available as 16x20 canvas prints or 11.5 x 14.5 fine art paper prints.

Also, here's a link to my book + mini print offer:

Great textures Robert. I haven't figured out yet what the "dilemma" is.

Robert, after framing, “Lava Falls” now graces the Blowfish Bar, providing a nice boost to the Tiki quotient...

Mahalo for the awesome works of Tiki art! "The Fisherman God's Dilemma" is quite an intriguing work in progress, as well.

ohhh, just saw the little person under the monkey's arm. That's just one good reason to look at your art over and over again, so many surprises. Once again I am staring at your monkey's face absorbing how good it is. I can feel him thinking. Excellent, Wendy

Thanks Hang10 and Wendy! That chimp on the right is actually supposed to be female. I guess it's near impossible for us hairless creatures to tell the difference though!

Yeah. Likenesses are not my strongest skill that's for sure, so we'll see how it goes!
Speaking of likenesses...I recently completed a portrait of one of my favorite writers, Philip K. Dick. It can be see over at my zerostreet.com site. He passed away in 1982, so I sent an email to his 5th wife Tessa Dick and she loved the painting and has since reposed it on her facebook profile. This has been a great thrill for me, being such a fan of his since my early teen years. And if anyone knows about his life you'd know that Tessa was his wife during the time he experienced 2 months of (supposed) spiritual experiences all via a pink beam of light.
Anyway, all this to say that when she posted it on Facebook, almost immediately one of her friends said "the eyes are wrong!"
So there.
