[ Posted by Splotchy on Aug 27th, 2008 7:02 AM ]... Man, I forgot all about that. Damnit. I wouldn't be able to make it down there anyway. wife's usually workin on the Weekends, and I've usually got pages I gotta do immediately. Hopefully one of these days I'll get to make it to a Tiki Event. Msot of the Tiki artists I know of are always at one, but I never make it.

[ Posted by Splotchy on Aug 13th, 2008 10:16 AM ]... Thanks man. And thanks for the add. I saw a pin-up for your book earlier today on Digital webbing from Jeff W. Just the Tiki's in the frame made me fall in love with it. But I checked out your site, and found the link to the Hawaiian Mythos' and Legends. Dude..thank you so much for posting that link. I've been wanting to find something regarding that subject for MONTHS to use in researching for my own projects (thus all the Pin-Ups in Tiki-Mania). and now, thanks to you, I don't have to spend too much time in that endeavor. Thank you. And I can't wait until your book comes out.

[ Posted by Smirl on Aug 14th, 2008 5:08 PM ]... No problem - Sacred Texts is great. Im just down the road in Long Beach so let me know if you need help getting any other reference materials for your project !

[ Posted by Splotchy on Jul 8th, 2008 10:04 AM ]... Hey Jimmy, how's it goin' man?? Yeah, I've stepped away for quite a while. was working 2 jobs since '05 when I came back to Cali, and as of April, down to one. Still doing the Assisting thing more Fulltime now, and hoping all goes well at San Diego to jumpstart my career in fullswing. It was really difficult going through all those e-mails in one sitting, so I just backed off, and recently deleted all the old ones going through that inbox. Plus, with the recent Lull in work this past week, I managed to get 4 new Tiki Pinups Inked, and even printed out a copy of one to throw some colored pencils on. All of which I'm uploading now.

[ Posted by Splotchy on Apr 12th, 2007 11:52 PM ]... Thanks Terry. Love Al's work. Printed out some stuff I found of his and been trying to Ink it up, but haven't had much of a chance lately. Would love to Ink some new stuff of his if ever the chance arose. Working from Prints is a pain in the ass.

thanks for the add. alex sorta fell off the radar after he stopped doing 10th muse. i have tried contacting him several times, because i still have some of his original pages, but he's hard to get a hold of.....

nice to see you on here though. hope all is well with yah. :)

I've got several more of my own to do, including a couple of 2 pagers, and a 3 pager I'm really dying to sit down and do. Plus, I've got a few friends from this Biz who've done one for me, and waiting on a few more.

I've got some stuff I'm working on right now, just taking a quick break, trying to get ready for the Wiz World LA show. If I can get this stuff scanned in I'll post it up here. Might just pull some old stuff from my Photobucket page to put up here. Later man.

One of these days Peej. Got a pin-up I've gotta finish soon, but have my assistant thing going full swing right now. So between that and my fulltime job outside the Biz, chances are it might be weeks before I get anything on here.
