Yeah, usually you do need to be nervous about what is in the teapot at our house. The reason I did the skull and crossbones is for Hanna, she is 6 and loves that look. She wants me to sew skulls on all her clothes. Thank you for the compliments Little lost, Surf tiki,Tiki Shark Art and Benzart. Benboo, I'm trying to paint my ass off, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. Ha ha
Here is another one representing tiki in my hood.

The moths are cool, I recognize the one as being a real moth, so that probably makes the other so.

It sticks in your Head...I really like these! They're fun and a little unsettling all at once! Love the Owl! Glad you're enjoying yourself! Art is such a great gift!

Sweeet--I've always been a fan of the 'dot' style, very nice. The groovy owl really speaks to me too. (he says "whoooo whooooo"!)

Thank you for you comments. I love the owl too. It's a little wacky and out there looking. Keigs (ken) and my life is full of wacky witco animals and everyone is always joking about owl collections and thrift store owls, but you have to admit they are pretty cool animals. My next doodle will have to be be filled with chainsaws, tools, and sawdust because right now that is all I can see when I look outside for inspiration. Nothing like the smell of chain oil and sawdust in the morning!!!

Here is a my fisherman god painting. It is inspired by an original carving that my Grandfather did in the 60's. The fish and sun are also an ode to him. I really tried to get the wood grain on the tiki, but am not sure if I succeeded. Also, I was going to have Ken (Keigs) make a frame, but I painted too close to the edges, so I painted a frame with a pattern that Witco used on a lot of projects.

The wood has a really cool graphic quality! That's awesome to have tiki in the family like that.....I have two plaques that my father in law made in high school in the early 60s!

WHOOOOAA! Looks like you just rounded a bend on the learning curve with this one! I can definitely see your grandfathers influence here.

Thanks for looking at my stuff. I'm really having a great time experimenting. It feels great to sit and just let my creative side take over. Suburbanpagen, it is absolutely wonderful to have art in my family. I appreciate it more and more as time goes by. As a child I didn't realize how exciting it was to be surrounded by such talent. Ken has really been the one that opened my eyes to how special it is. He honors Grampa every day with his carvings. It feels good. What are the plaques like that you have from your family?
Thank you Ben. Husbands do rock.
Surf and Turf, this one looks better to me too. I think I might be on to something.

Pat, thanks. Sounds like a compliment to me. Were you next to Ken and me at Hukilau vending this last year? If so, it was lovely to have met you and it's amazing how multi-talented you are. Next time we are in Florida, maybe we can commission you for some tattoo work.
