Thanks so much Frostiki and Robb!

The Palm Springs Tiki Room is coming together!!!!! I told you florida tiki fan's that if you didn't move quick,then I will possess tiki bob and all his jazzyness.

Here is my proof!!!!!

I had to celebrate the new art with some Palm Springs Punch in my Gambino mug!!!!!! Great shirt on Mort by the way!!!!

Thanks again Sam!!!!!!

Hey Rory- I'm honored that my 1-Shot enamel now adorns the walls of the Palms Springs Tiki Room! Seeing this pic, I'm going to have to dive into the earthtones palette of colors more often!

I hafta say, that shirt you have is the total BOMB! So cool! When you can, please tell me how and where to accumulate such a badass weave!

Here's new "intense" art of mine for the new Coffin Daggers CD. It's 16x16 enamel on board. They're out of NYC. They do the "Monster Surf" stuff to a T! Thanks for looking!

Sam....This is awesome!!!
The colors are great and has a very cool vibe to it!!

like i said earlier..
you do enamel right!
the eyes are perfect!
the colors...awesome
yourtype is flawless!
You're a man of many talents.Sam!
those Dagger folks must be stoked!
:)

Love it....those eyes.....just great stuff Sam!!

Man, that Wildsville Cat is one lucky SOB!! Nice snag there Rory!

Sir Sam, you are one amazing fellow...am I going to get to meet you at Oasis this year?

Thanks so much for those kind words, Meheadhunter, Ken, Clysdalle and Babalu. My wife said that it might be good to add the bloodshot to the eyes, so I did! Hey Babalu, Sir Sam won't be making Oasis this year - I have to stay back at the castle, polish up my armor and clean out the mote. Thanks for the kind words though! :)

Great new piece Sam! I bet it looks real juicy
in person. Love your enamel work!

GT

Love It!

Perfection!

Thanks so much, Iokona Ki'i, GoTiki and Sneakytiki. I always appreciate your kind words!

Just posting another commission which was again to be done after "The Curse of the Tiki Idol." Similar - yet different.... Giving the buyer what they want! I used my own tiki designs in this one - My "Twilight" tiki, Sam's Seafood tiki, and the London Luau 2005 tiki.... Thanks for looking!

Very cool Sam...
I'm still fascinated by the way you utilize 1 shot!!! :)
You Da Man!!!

[ Edited by: Meheadhunter 2009-07-28 21:24 ]

NOice!
What a charge to see your own tikis in this series!
Way to go!
would love to see all of these together!
Sam the one-shot magic man!

Are we sure that the economy is slowing down? You are the only guy I know who is backed up with work!!!! Keep it coming Sam,I'm always glad to see new work from you. You are the James Brown of the lowbrow art movement.

Your work always brings a tear to my eye's!!!!!!

Thanks so much, Meheadhunter, Ken and Rory! I guess I'm a 1-Shot enamel-slinging James Brown.... I'll take that! Thanks for the kind words, guys... Hey Rory, I've been thinking of growing some of those pork chops on the side of my face lately!

Sam,
have the sideburns that re attached to the glasses like me!!!!! Less Grooming Baby!!!!

I'm think'n you should go with the unibrow like our man Rory. I think his unibrow attaches to the elvis sunglasses as well.

As always love the new works Sam.

Love how you bounce around from style to style Sam!
Really dig the latest piece. Winner!
