Badass stuff, Pat, excellent technique and color. It's great to have you and your talent back.
I think some of your tattoo style shows up in these new pieces. And I really dig the naughtiness of that last sketch....

aloha all!
Mooney my man! thanks a lot, you guys come on over anytime! remember that painting i told you i finally started? the cat pissed on it! just kidding- the dog ate it? actually it's almost done. it's a black velvet and i've been itching to post shots. but you should receive it first, right? isn't that how these things work?
Watangooooo!! (Deadbolt) thanks a lot man, i try to stay busy. it doesn't always work. i do have a tattoo thread up, for all to post on. i try to keep it updated now and then.
Sam G~ always feels good when a headliner such as yourself stops in for a comp. mahalos much, man-i likes em too...they all my girlfriends.
Robb--thanks muchas bud and right-on. cool to have some un-noticed continuity ....noticed! wink wink on that last one-every now and then i have to paint something bad. this one i tried making just subtle enough to be printed/shown somewhere besides an erotic show. the blue starts are just the first slap for the farthest background. i only use 3 blues,2 greens, one yellow, one fusha and red, and 3 browns here at the shop. and a tattoo white. i think one of the paintings started with green.
so here's a few in-progs of this one. thought i had one at the beginning, sorry.
this is canvas board 8x10" acrylic
mahalo for looking!

Stellar painting Pat!
and those ones on the last page-killer!
i think i read every UFO/Erich von Däniken/Strange Mysteries book
and just Loooove the notion of advanced cultures meeting primitive ones!
Lovin the Moai's eyes
and the reflection on the ship...
and how lush and juicy your pieces are...
Man! This painting would've rocked the party
at the 2nd Annual Tiki magazine show
hosted at the planet Rooth gallery
it had an interstellar robots meets tiki theme to it..
Simply a pleasure to view!
now finish it!

aloha all-
hey LLT~ thanks much, my friend. yes, those books and others like them have provided me with many years of fun reading. someone loaned me 'Gold of the Gods' long ago and that just opened a huge can of missing link mutatious goodness!!
so here's progress -almost done. maybe today?
getting there-
hopefully i'll have time tonight to finish Mooney's velvet!

aloha all!
hey thanks, J! i have to have different styles going on; feels like i have a broader scope of the world-and to keep things fresh. that's what i noticed first pg of your thread- damn! from cartoon to realistic- i love it! i'll try not to pig out on the mediums!
well, this guy's finished. i could keep tweaking details, highlights and shadows for ever. but onwards instead. can't settle on a title, so any help would be appreciated. i always suck at titles.
so hard to shoot the canvas texture. this was the best out of 8 or so. this and the previous set of 4 wahines will be avail as prints for hukilau. maybe the next one, too.
mahalos for any help w/ the title! and as always, thanks for lookin.

alright, well here's Jimmy Mooney's velvet piece for his family. hope i didn't really screw up, like forget one of the kids or something! it wasn't dry enough to clean, so forgive the cat hair and lint. very fun trying to show an action scene on velvet. learned quite a bit on this piece, so can't wait to do the next still life.
'Mooneys over Waikiki' ? or 'Don't Make Me Pull This Thing Over!!'
there's actually quite a bit of symbolism there- Jimmy guiding his family home, ahead of the storm and through the darkness. balancing it all, and maintaining control. and having a blast while doing it!
LLT- thanks, man~the other one is just getting started!
