Comedy, Beach and a new Abstract watercolor painting

Hope everyone out there had a fabulous weekend! I went to the beach (check out the awesome, trippy cloud pictures), went to the Kaleo Pilanca Comedy show at the Honolulu Design Center - Kaleo is just SO talented! I had seen him perform about a month ago and this show was similar but different at the same time. The guy is so creative and can make anything funny - so many props, so little time! I also managed to finish my new abstract watercolor, a very productive and fun weekend~

 Can't get enough Banyan Tree pictures!

 

 Banyans and da ocean!

Bits of my Weekend

Fabulous weekend, caught an awesome sunset Friday night at Kaimana Beach and more beach shots from Sunday. Started a new abstract (stay tuned, it should emerge later this week) and gearing up for my 1st comedy showcase this Wednesday at the Dragon Upstairs, 8 pm. I am doing some stand-up, opening for an improv group.

Open mic night was this past Wed 10-19-11 at the Dragon Upstairs in Chinatown in downtown Honolulu, and everyone was SO awesome! It was standing-room only, so packed with comics and fans. So much talent in that room, the Dragon really is the best place to see comedy around here~ ALOHA!

A Wonderful Weekend, Comedy and a new Abstract Painting!

Have you ever had have such a wonderful weekend that the following Monday is so inevitably a let-down? Thursday night I went out and saw my friend's band, the Honolulu Lounge Lizards, play at the Outrigger Reef on the beach's pool bar, the Kanikapila Grill and they were just fabulous! Friday I had off from work and had a glorious beach day at Kaimana beach. Saturday night, I participated in ComedyHawaii.com's Liv Mic Podcast and Open Mike at King's Pub in Waikiki and did a great interview and set (comedy pics by Jahnys Moody)~

A new Painting and a great art quote

"The fine art of painting, which is the bastard of alchemy, always has been always will be, a game. The rules of the game are quite simple: in a given arena, on as many psychic fronts as the talent allows, one must visually describe, the center of the meaning of existence"
