That is cool Robert! I noticed you changed logo on the piece a bit, I like that also.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Yes, after much deliberation I decided to switch my signature to RJ. The Tiki Oasis piece was the first to have the new signature. I regretted using the Z for some time. At one point I considered being called Zerostreet so I started signing with the Z. When I had my first showing at a gallery and the owner asked how to bill me I felt quite silly saying "Zerostreet"....so I didn't...and by then the signature was on several pieces.
This got boxed up today.

I know exactly what you mean about the name vs nickname thing - I'm not sure I want my pieces displayed in the Musée du Louvre as "MadDog Mike"

What I like about the new signature is that when my heirs go on the future version of "Antiques RoadShow" with their trove of Robert Jimenez heirlooms, they'll have something to talk about.
"Ahh," the art evaluator will say. "These were painted during Internationally Renowned Artist Robert Jimenez' 'ZeroStreet' period. Spectacular."

And, I don't know, Le Mad Dog sounds kinda cool!

French does add a touch of class and sophistication, no?

Always!
I have rarely ever posted any of my non-Tiki work here but I'm going to do so now because by association it is peripherally Tiki.
Below is one of the several ape/monkey pieces I will have in Harold Golen Gallery's SIMIAN SPECTACLE show in July. Many of you know Harold from his Hukilau art shows. Harold asked me to curate this show and although it is not a Tiki art show, it will have our very own Doug Horne, Sam Gambino and Anthony Carpenter in it. As well as Eddy Crosby, John Mulder and LuRu of Tortuga Tile Works among others. If you're in South Florida July 14th it's a show not to miss!

Did you get special training in simian fur or are you self-taught? You are the master of well-coiffed apes (although it's hard to tell on the fez-wearers).

Well Greg, when an ape decides to lead the civilized life, it won't do to have matted, lice-ridden hair....and thanks for the compliment!

Hey! Look what showed up at my house Friday, what a great way to start my weekend. Haven't found a permanent home for "Seven Suns and the Moon" yet, but here's a peak at one corner of my sanctuary.
Thank you Robert, I am honored you did this for me. I can't wield a crayon!
