Spot on Squidster! Nice, you captured it perfectly I'd say. I'm enjoying seeing all the art you have created, I waited in great anticipation for a long time. Now where's the Tiki cowboy kitty

Finally I get to show my stuff alongside many of my favourite TC artists! STOKED! Big thanks to hodaddy for pulling this together (and for giving me a prod where/when I needed it).
Sir Squidly - that is one of my favourite ever pieces of Oceanic art. I think I've seen about 3 of these now and they're one of the only figurative designs I've seen in stone by PNG artists. I've had this one saved for a long time now but am yet to find the time to do a pebble version:
Not only is it a sculptural masterpiece in stone, but it's so weird and cool looking too. Trust you to pluck that guy out of the ether! Where does the straw go?
I was glad to hear I'm not the only one going hard up against the deadline, but unfortunately I won't be able to drop my last-minute entries off in person. Like Ben, I will have to represent in spirit form.
and seeing we're doing sneak previews...

Paipo-didn't realize there was more than one!

Glad you tackled this fellow,Dave

Stuff's looking good folks. Very tired now. Motor skills failing. Thank God for Charlie and her delicious Lychee soda pop! mmmm...
I feel like a Aussie Shepard rounding up the stragglers. Arf Arf!
I can't really complain about artists waiting till the last minute since normally a show of this magnitude would have been planned months ahead of time, and as an artist myself I know what nail biting trauma I've put art directors, curators and gallery owners through. I can take it! Hahaha... In fact, errr... I'm pretty sure Christy at Oasis goes into convulsions at the mere mention of my name.
Well, they don't call it a "soft" opening for nothin! Hey, what did you expect from a gallery you can wear a wet suit or bikini to? As long as you love art, bring your wallet and take something cool home with you, it's all good.
Will post some preview pics tomorrow. Only two days left!!!!!

Yes Kinny, You remember Shuffle. Can you believe I got DJ Mother Freakin' Shuffle to rotate at the closing reception Friday September 4th?? Truely magical.

You've got a couple pieces in the show too Kirby! Surprise!!!!!
Also some wearable art from GOTIKI! Surprise surprise!
I just got a box of fun from Brad Parker too, the contents of which I'll be bringing to Oasis and available at Freaky Boutiki... Surprise surprise surprise!
Just heard from Benz and Paipo and I think everybody's gonna be knocked-out when their goodies arrive. Better late than never, and plenty of reasons to see this show more than once! Like a giant art amoeba it is destined change shape throughout it's life.
I'm going to try and co-ordinate something with the Menkins to get a periodic shuttle moving from Oasis to the Gallery. That would be nifty.
BYO 3-D glasses!
