ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Now, since I'm getting ready for an art show at the swanky "La Luz de Jesus Gallery" next July, I gotta paint at about twice my normal speed to create enough work to fill all that blank wall space in their gallery. (yes, I'm terrified and excited all at once) So, on to the next piece...

24" x 30"
acrylic on canvas
working title is "Hula Baby"
I got this idea after I was hunting through the used book and dvd store in Kona.... I scored and found a great box set of the 1933-1938 Popeye cartoons from the Max Fleischer animation studio! One of the episodes had Betty Boop doing a Hula! I was hooked!

Cross tween Betty Boop and my goth squid girl...

Strange tropical flying beasties...
Much more to come...
