Cheers Chaps!
Thanks Sam! Killer work on the tiki garden piece. You're
great at so many different styles.
Hey Mike! Where's the tiki? I totally forgot too.
Get back to tiki-ing! Miss seeing what you will come up with next!

Amazing how they all somehow have your magic touch!

Hey Dano!
Thanks for the encouragement.
I'll be working on some more velvet wahines

for the art show. Stay tuned!
This ones done, on to the next!
Mahalo for looking!

sprouting up! a Pop Primitive Renaissance!

Thanks Kinny!
Having fun that's for sure!
Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
Funny you mentioned the flower,
I put it there to hide a mistake.
Look forward to your contribution to
the dark arts! Be cool to have a group art show
with all velvets someday!
Great seeing you too!
Here's my next in progress piece. Velvet Bettie 2
Still has chalk lines.

Hey Bettieblogger,
Thanks for writing. That would be cool!
These two velvets are for the Bettie Page /Olivia
show on Sat. May 2nd in Hollywood. I'm guessing you probably know
that though. Will you be going to it? Let me know. It's
gonna be a fun time! I can send you finished jpegs with the frames
which really compliment the art after the show.
Mahalo!
