aloha all who enter! this one is getting close, a bit more lighting/shadow work and a lot of detail finishing. should be done in a week or so. should even have it's frame done in time for hukilau! well, hope you all enjoy.
still not shure of a title! i kind of suck at choosing titles for my work, so if anyone has some ideas, they'd be more than welcome!
the canvas is 2'x4' -and if the images look familiar but you haven't placed them, try pgs 72/73 of The Book of Tiki. like i said earlier, the painting's a tribute to Don The Beachcomber, the one who started it all! hope you like!

Greenie, you are really doing some nice stuff, Love the Bamboo's and your 3 cannibals are utterly fantastic. They would be a great advertisement for the local cannibal snack shop: "Greenies Tikis are the BEST, yumm".

How the hell did I miss this thread?!?
I'm grooving on it, the raunchy stuff especially - but the latest two are insane! I've always loved the cannibal motif, and I really dig the way you've got the little mementos placed between 'em. The new bamboo is incredible too....the shading gives it real depth and dimension.

That bamboo is great. I have a few lengths sitting around awaiting some paint, but still working out what I am doing with it.
