Nice work!
Love the moon palace. U iz good!
However, I think you are right, the canvas is calling... It'd be good to see what you can do with analog art. I come from a back ground of digital art - like since the 80's until just 5 years ago. I wish I had put brush to canvas seriously long ago.
Computers are great art tools, and the only way to go if you are doing commercial illustration. That said.... fine art gallery patrons prefer originals on canvas. Your talent level says you could rawk with the big boys in the poly-pop art world. I say go for it.

Thanks for the advice and the compliments Brad! I do hope to try some painting very soon! Maybe have something original for the 2011 Hukilau!

Here's a quick sketch for, what I think, is a really fun idea. I want to make a map of Tiki Tower Island, that I would eventually put on the website. It would be an interactive map that will feature my illustrations and give them a specific place on the island. My aim is to create a realized world that is populated with my illustrations and the various characters I have created and hope to create. I have been a big comic book fan all my life and have always loved the mythology/lore that is sometimes created and would love to have that for Tiki Tower.
Also a reminder. Memorial Day sale at Tiki Tower! Everything in the Tiki Tower store is 20% off until the end of May! (this does NOT include t-shirts sold through 3rd parties)

zerostreet-
"Cosmo At The Moon Palace" - finished work is pretty spectacular, Robert!
The Brooklyn piece you're anticipating is missing one major element though in my opinion - Coney Island!! Drop the Empire State building with the Parachute Drop tower, add a roller coaster and you'll have a killer graphic...especially since Coney Island is currently being renovated as I write this.
Oh yeah, I agree with Brad, brush and canvas is way more personal and meaningful.
Digital art is mass-media. Hand-made paintings is pure artist expression.
Take Care and I'll be watching for your next update. Cheers! G

Great idea TikiG! The parachute jump is THE icon of my youth! There was something so myterious and kinda creepy about it. Seeing it loom over the horizon as my parents drove up to coney...
WestADad, thanks for the order! I will work hard on it this weekend! Hope you love it!
A reminder...everything in my shop is 20% off througout Memorial Weekend!

Thanks Mike!
In my opinion 10:30 is pretty early to go to bed, but last night it was not a choice! I sleep very little throughout the week and it all seems to catch up in Friday nights for some reason!
