Gotta say it again. Your creations go far beyond being just tiki art. This is modern art of the highest caliber. Museum quality, actually.

You produce a lot of work, but GROG think Eric October is kickin' your butt! Check out his latest Gallery post on page 6 of his Gallery thread.

Hello Dear Ohana!
So sorry for the time between postings...
Life and work and mojave oasis and other matters often consume time
like a bag of Lays Potato chips...
Let us attend to some replies and then some work posting...

Great use of the wooden leaf tray, just like it was made for a crocodile! I think the painted mug needs glow in the dark paint or blacklight paint.
See ya in a few days!

Mike! SO Great to see you at MOasis!
Hoping Toe will throw down another one because Glow in the Dark paint would RULE that SCHOOL! Speaking of,i really DO think we'll be needing to do some of them Chairs....and NOW that i have gotten 100% confirmation from Thor that we'll be sharing a suite at Tiki Oasis,i think there may be a few folks who might want to take a collab piece home with them...
Miss you already,my dear talented friend!

"LLT" - too funny (having the same initials) I hadn't noticed!
Both your paintings and your commentary make me smile. I love so much of your stuff. This is a fun thread.

So Glad we could amuse AND entertain you,my dear...
I will remain steadfast to providing a consistent amount of both
from time to time...

Ernie....this isn't a competition...
i think tobunga's work is par excellence
AND his output is incredible...
Sometimes people have other genres to paint
and have to slice up their time to accomodate them all...
plus work takes up a lot of time...
so shaddup
and get to crackin on some new ceramics
Alrightio!
That concludes our passive/aggressive commentary for this week..
Here's a few newbies...
Created for mojave Oasis
and still available...
"the First Sip"
acrylic and cel-vinyl on wood
with a Thick-azz bamboo Ben frame
12 x 20"
art 8.5 x 13"
Who gets to take the First Sip?
"the Encounter"
pyrography and acrylic tinting on wood
6 x6"
a lil mini Solomon Islands-inspired piece...
"Maori"
pyrography and acrylic tinting on wood
8 x8"
That is all,dear friends
until we meet again...
Thanks fer visitin!
guess who's vending at Tiki Oasis this year?
I'm on FaceBook Too!Look me UP,folks!

Kinny!!!
As a fan of 1950s Sci-Fi (you are, are you not?)
this is from the great & cheesy movie "This Island Earth"
"Exeter" was the head Alien from the planet Metaluna
who came to Earth to recruit (kidnap) the top Scientist's
to help save Metaluna from total annilation.
(You should know this!)
Watch it, now!

One of the best, and cheesiest '50s Sci-Fi B-Movies ever! Maybe only second to "Invasion of the Saucer Men."

It's okay LLT, I really dig old 40's/50's movies and I didn't recognize it either and have also been wondering what it was from. 
"The First Sip' looks like it would glow under a black light, I am not sure but it may possibly be the brightest picture I have seen you do. Dig the wood burning I like to do that myself once in a while.

Thanks Art-Sister! All i gotta do is send Otto some $$$ and i will then officially be vending with the esteemed Thor at Tiki Oasis this year! A friendly insightful TRUE artist who should provide good company and conversation between the crowd throngs... Looking forward to seeing YOU and all those fellow Friends and Arteests who are long overdue some Hugs!

Meh...
the monster thing used to fascinate me as a kid
When i would stumble upon it in the Monster Movie rags of the 70's
but the rest of the movie looks like every other from that era
Black and White films
saturated with a looming
Atomic Destruction/Utopia
Commies and Bombs disguised as other-Worldly visitors
over it...
Would rather watch all the old episodes of kikaida,Thank you very much!

Vincent Price "the Last Man on Earth" is my fave from that Black and White Sci-Fi category.
Been playing with color combos to capture that indoor bar lighting,even if it is from a Bent perspective...
I'm hoping they Glow Without a Black-light!
If you scroll down,this new offering below follows that same color exploration...
Hopefully,as soon a the studio is perfect for it,
you can share some Tiki woodburns with us!
Well.. Time for some ART!
"the Fallen Comrade"
acrylic gouache and cel-vinyl on wood
23 x 13.75"
image: 11 x 20"
Here it is WITHOUT the thrift store PERFECT frame
and some details!
This painting is about that one friend who happens to take a dive some night out on the town (or at Tiki Oasis...) We have ALL had a friend like that...this is a painting about THEM...
our FALLEN COMRADES!
Some Background...
I went for a looser style
still bringing in elements of the stained glass style
but loosening it up
making it more painterly than graphic...
the colors were also a fun little recess
brights next to neutrals next to darks..then shadowing it in with a raw umber and highlighting areas with some dark mustard and naples yellow,and then some washes of black ,but just in the areas that needed it......
Uh Oh....
the Fallen Comrade...
i love lamp.
Fish Float lamps
a Background Table
Closeup of the Background Table
And here's one i finished up at Mojave Oasis
a few weeks back....
such a great place to relax and hang with friends
"the Village"
tissue paper/ink stain and ink on Aquarelle watercolor paper
12 x 16"
and some close-ups...
Hut!
Sun and Another Hut!
Idol or Ancestor Carving
a closeup to show the ground
and some of the rough ink and tissue paper stain
below the drawing...
and one last treat...Early Saturday morn i wandered the park and did
quick studies of some the Tikis adorning the poles around Mojave oasis...There were some new ones erected in the half circle vintage trailer area this year and they look GREAT!
"Tikis at Mojave Oasis"
tissue paper/ink stain and ink on Aquarelle watercolor paper
12 x 16"
That's all i got for now...
Have a Nice Evening!

Glad this thread and these lil paintings
inspired a nice relaxing reprise from the ordinary...
Who gets to take the first sip?
that tense moment until SOMEBODY steps in
and Sluuuuurp!
Well....Gettin ready for a solo show in June
so i've been the lil busybee
doing that
and handling a rigorous day gig...
There's a New gallery in bakersfield
called the Sideshow gallery
Toe,myself and a bunch of other demented painters
are hanging there...
if you're in that area,go check it out
it's on Buck Owens Drive
Which is WAY cool in itself!
El-Freakin-Paso!
Soooo
Here's a Brand NEW painting i shuffled off to them last Saturday
"THE BATTLE OF NIGHT AND DAY"
cel-vinyl and acrylic on wood
21x20"
with a beautifully craftted Mikel Parton (empee) frame!
the image alone
This was part of my kid's book
that i never wrote
so i figured a painting
would lock it into my memory banks
when that time arrives....
Here's the Sun and moon struggling over the Night Sky....
This Tiki is pretty much just photobombing the picture
He just popped up and wouldn't move,so here he is...
This piece was real fun and loose
Big Swathes of color before the images were fleshed out...
Wheeee!
Here's the hut in a warm twilight sunset sunrise glow
A Volcano and some Palms watchiong lazily over this daily struggle....
Here's the EXACT point where Night meets Day...
Like i said before..it was a BLAST playing so ROUGH with the background colors and shapes!
Some foliage and ground
That's all i got NEW this week Tiki-wise...
Tho....if you would be so kind
allow me this small pitch
I will be having a SOLO show
Friday June 7th
"Sacred and Profane"
at the the Egan gallery
(that's 2 "the"s)
223/225 Santa Fe at the Magowski Arts Colony
Downtown Fullerton CA
6 to 10 pm
This will have SOME Tiki work,
but a LOT of what i was painting the 15-some years
BEFORE tackling Tiki with Full Force...
Here's a Brand New painting for the show
"the Battle of the Fish"
Not Tiki
more Han Dynasty stone-carvings,if you ask me....
Again..not Tiki
but still shows my love of ALL myths and folklore and Art...
Here's a Flyer to the upcoming show
if you aren't at ink and Iron
C'mon Down and say "Hello!"
Thank yuo for the indulgence....
