It's that time of year again Maui. Time for some of lumpiest transitions you've ever skated. It's the third annual Kihei Blue Pool Jam. If you've ever skated this little pool you know it's small and hard to skate. You work for every trick you get in this right handed, kidney shaped turd. So come GET SOME prizes, free food and music. Come Skate or spectate either way it'll be good fun for the whole family. Hosoi, Cabalero and Duane Peters are already confirmed. How about you?

The Kihei Blue pool skate contest on December 13 started out great but unfortunately after the first heat the rain came. Adilson Moura was able to snap these pictures before the deluge filled the deep end of the bowl with inches of water in just a few minutes.

Matt was busting miller flips in his combat boots.

The youngest ripper was only 4 years old and rolled in.

Toyota Project

2008-08-26T10:44:00.001-10:00

Have you ever read about the guy who found his hod rod rusting away in some farmers field then bought it for less than it cost to tow it? I've heard story's about this kind of stuff for years and thought how cool it would be if it happened to me. Well that shit didn't happen, no hot rods but I did find this rusted out Toyota.

Hmmm found some spiders, ants and a whole bunch of other bugs.

I got her home and gutted everything out. Not as bad as I suspected.

Maybe the previous owner was a lumber jack, because he sure liked beaver.

I painted this for my daughters birthday. A blank skateboard deck is the new canvas? I air brushed the green and black fade and hand painted the rest, it was fun.

Watch this blog for some hand printed, silk screened boards with new designs soon. I'm doing some graphics for a new skateboard company.

What do you think?

2007-10-31T08:22:00.000-10:00

A while back I entered a design contest .
It was from Tiki Farm and was put on by Holden Westland.
I only entered one Tiki Mug Design, here it is.

I did not win and they still made the mug.

I guess I had nothing to do with it as they never notified me.

All though according to Holden he used my design as part of the sales pitch to the Bali Hai.

Lesson Learned. What do you think?

It's not easy being green!

2007-01-03T16:11:00.000-10:00

The cannibal tiki is one that has always fascinated me. I decided to start this tiki on the full moon. Many of the tikis I've carved have started their life on the full moon.

I have a ton of new sketches to post and as soon as I get a new scanner I'll share them with you.
I've been productive lately and will have lots of art and crap I make to show.

Thanks for Looking.

Two works in progress.

2006-12-11T03:06:00.000-10:00

This painting is 6” by 18” acrylic on masonite. The view is from Kula and it’s not quite finished. I’ve worked 6 hours on it so far. If you want to see it bigger just click on the image.

The Hei-Tiki is genuine Hawaiian koa wood. I’ve worked on it for about 5 hours and I still need to fix his grill and lots of sanding.

Thanks for stopping by, check back soon to see these finished.

It's my first attempt.
What do you think?

Who's fooling Who?

2006-08-19T08:12:00.000-10:00

Why is it that survival requires all life to benefit from the death of another life? What I meant is the only way to live is to sacrifice other life so it may nourish you.

It's depressing to think that nature rewards the animal that is best at deceiving. In the name of morals, Humans try to act the opposite. In realty humans are animals too and even we reward that natural behavior. In fact what many think of as morals, go against human nature.

So the question is do you act natural, practice deceit and take what you want?
or do you go through life being honest and try to get what you need?

Our electricity went out yesterday and I sketched this fish.

Mini Comic Finished

Mini Comic book attempt #1

2006-06-23T13:14:00.000-10:00

I've been writing and illustrating a mini comic book.
Here's a rough of the cover, partially inked and in need of color.

The Idea Is taken from Tibetan Buddhism then adulterated and basterdized into a mid 20th century gollden era inspired cartoon comic.

The comic will be free and I'm hoping the proceeds will help fund my aerospace project.

Black Witch Moth

2006-06-20T22:58:00.000-10:00

It's a bat, it's a plane, nope it's the ginormous moth that landed on our lanai this evening. With a 5 inch wing span it's one of the bigger moths here in Hawaii but I like the green sphinx varieties better.

Self-Inflicted

2006-06-17T06:37:00.000-10:00

My second Self-Inflicted Tattoo.
It's the Bones ripper design from powell peralta. One more session and I think I'll have it close enough. Someone told me "With free tattoos, you get what you pay for". 2 or 3 weeks before I'll poke that spot again but plenty of canvas were that came from. As long as I can stretch the skin and push some ink in. Ouch.

Lesson 4 "pear-shaped" two legged characters.

2006-06-12T13:34:00.000-10:00

This

lesson

teaches basic "pear shaped" characters. It has been fun drawing these ones.
I need allot of work, practice, practice, practice.

Ducks

These Birds are fun and my speed is increasing.

Tom and jerry are the next subjects to be copied and they have already proven themselves to be dificult.
I just need to loosen up more and check my proportions.

SurfenTiki Cartoon

2006-06-06T23:54:00.000-10:00

I made this today. I'm not so happy with it and I'll rework the idea on paper some more untill its right then I might paint it.

It's how you get there art contest.

2006-06-04T11:34:00.000-10:00

It's no news that Toyota is a great patron of the arts. With their Call For Artist entries and contest and it's fledgling Scion division pumping new life into the arts with gallery exhibitions.

Here's a contest you can enter.

See My Entry

It would be nice to see some other American Car Manufacturers step up to the plate. Yeah Right like that will ever happen.

While Toyota's building new manufacturing plants in the United States the other 3 American Car manufacturers are looking to outsource more parts to cheap labor friendly, third world countries.

Checking Proportions Lesson 3

2006-06-04T01:06:00.000-10:00

lesson 3 Check Your Work.

Compare the copies to the originals to check proportions.
If you click these images it will take you to my free image host.
Below in white is the original and black is my copy.

In this image you can see the progression. Numbers one and two are my first and second attempts and number three is from the book. Wow I'm actually getting better.

Compare the hats. The first is way off, On the second I get the shape of the brim a little better but the hat is still too big.

Now I'm going to practice these some more and try to make some bodies.

Lesson 2 stretching and squashing page1

2006-05-31T12:15:00.000-10:00

It's starting to get a little easier and the time it takes has decreased slightly. These lessons are great for getting me loose and in the creative mode that I need to be in to paint.

I'll do one more page fromlesson 2. And then I'm dreading correcting them.

More Cartoon heads from lesson one

2006-05-30T13:42:00.000-10:00

About finished with the first lesson

Now onto stretching and squashing these buggers in

lesson 2

Lesson One of The $100,000 Animation Course

2006-05-28T11:28:00.000-10:00

I'm a little late to this thing but better late than never. I just found the

online lesson

, I was really excited and all for free. Here's the first page of the first lesson and this stuff isn't easy but its fun and rewarding.I'm Stipossidley too old for This Free online course . See Reledgidly John K said he couldn't teach an old dog new tricks. And further more that after the age of 24 you become an uber-yuppie, chicken-shit conformist thus unable to learn the art of mid 20th century cartoon animation. Isn't that ludacrisp?

I'll be 33 on the 31st but I stopped growing mentally in my teens so I'll Go ahead and do the lesson anyways.

Get Free Canvases

2006-05-27T01:04:00.000-10:00

Here's a little tip Boys and Girls. For all you struggling artists. This Election Season you can stock up on PVC, Vinyl, Posterboard and other fine canvas materials. All for Free. How you ask? Well I'm Sure you all have seen those obnoxious political signs blocking up the view. It might say "Vote Dick Cheatem for Council" on the front but the back is clean and white. When I pick these signs I don't discriminate between Republicrats or Demicans as long as its not a third party. Third party's are cheap and the signs are of poor quality and not suitable for our needs. The best signs are the ones attached to fences as they have no hole in the middle like the one attached to a stake and planted in someone's front yard.

Most importantly don't get caught. You don't want any Right Wing Nut-Jobs or Leftist Loonies to kick your art loven ass over some posterboard.

Peace and happy hunting.
