Hewey,
Ditto what everyone else said. I'm sure you already know you have a great concept and design but it can't hurt to hear it one more time..
Hey Hewey, You have a great concept and design!

Thanks again folks. I had the idea long ago (the 4 tikis from the corners of the South Pacific), but thought it would make a nice pendant set or something with the 4 tikis together. From there it was a natural progression to a 4 legged bowl, and the waves and sea creatures just made sense. Now I just sit and wait for 2-3 weeks

Thanks for all of your feedback and support 
Well the Keepers bowl didn’t make the cut for the Tiki Farm comp. But from what what Holden tells me I was VERY close… The bowl will live in one form or another eventually. Needless to say, I’ll let people know when something happens.
But man, I haven’t cracked out any tiki art stuff for a while…
I just scored this decanter off ebay for $12, picking it up tonight I’ve been inspired by the DVA decanters and will be painting it up, but not sure what I’ll be doing. I think I might fill it up with rum, and by the time I finish it, I should have some good ideas

Your idea of filling it with rum and then drinking it
should help you on your quest!

Ooooh, an extremely poor picture of a canvas painted bright green, what's it all mean? It means that the paintbrushes have been dusted off and fired up Hope to have this finished by the start of next week, but still throwing ideas around as to what I am doing with it. No it doesn't glow in the dark, the light just bounced off it in the pic.
The decanter was picked up, it's in great condition. Needs a new cork before I do anything else, for now it's just sitting on the shelf looking cool. Might wait a bit till I can paint better before I go defacing it 
:edit: Well, the painting has taken a decidely non-tiki angle now, so I'll just post a pic when Im done. And after that, its time for a nautical tiki

This is a new painting I’ve just finished, ‘The Tangaroan Couple’. Painted for the nautical tiki swap (tang’ is of course the god of the ocean, and I gave him a lady friend). Painted with one shot pinstriping paint on stretched canvas. The picture is pretty poor, but that’s what happens when you’re taking pics at 1am under a fleuro light. I’ll try and get some better pics in better light, when the camera has batteries.

Black/Blue/White-love those colors together!
Glad you're finally busting out some more art recently!
the secret is to do a lil' bit everyday! That way you get in the art mode more and more!
Rock on Hewey!

Thanks mate. I like the colours too, but next time I might mix up some very light blue and darker blue for highlights/shadows instead of the white and black, for a more monochromatic look. I like the look/style, and I’ve got a few ideas I reckon might work okay with it.
It’s starting to warm up a little down here, so now I can go outside and not freeze my ass off painting or carving outside at night after work (I don’t have somewhere I can paint inside, so I do everything under the awning out the back.) The priority is getting my wagon going, and then getting my big tiki carving completed for my brothers wedding present. Nothing like a tight deadline for motivation!

Lookin' good hewey. I like the gestural chalk/pastel feel you've got - I wouldn't have picked it for paint. The limited palette on the black BG works really well.
