Here's a new commission from Bill Winger, owner of DaddyKatz, Dayton's only Tiki/hotrod/midcentury store.

This one has an epic scale, bigger than anything I've done. It is 2x3 feet, but the image is bigger than that!

The previous shrunken head painting was the first step to doing this one, which was the plan from the beginning.

I've got a specific source for the red light this time.

The village is also familiar and comfortable to do. The hint of a huts in the distance will soon be erased.

The next step will show main subject for this painting, which is something I'd never even thought about doing on velvet before.
