Here are 2 paintings I did for the "Anniversary Gala Tiki Exhibition and Party" at the DVA Gallery in Chicago. The show opens on June 23rd. Both paintings are done in acrylics on masonite that I cut out then assemble in different layers. The one with the scooter is called "Anartiki" and the moai sitting on the bed of nails is called "Feelin' No Pain". If you're in Chicago, go have a lookie!

Both are really cool... I like the moai's face especially. The layer effect is a great idea. I paint on masonite sometimes, but I itch and sneeze like crazy when I'm cutting it!

Yes!
I LOVE dimensional art. Especially when it's SO FREAKING perfect! VERY nice! The expressions! THE movement! The color choices! The craftsmanship! All 100%! I bet they are fanfreakingtastic in person too! Some lucky collector is gonna take those puppies home from DVA!

Thanks for all the positive feedback!! This is my first time posting here and didn't know what to expect. Most of my work falls along the pop culture/classic monster lines, but I do have a few more pieces featuring tikis:
