3 MONTHS LATER!

Mission...ALMOST...Complete.
Yahoo!...ALMOST Travel time!

Corinna and I are in the finishing stages of work here at Luna's Castle. 4 days left...for now.
Looks like we will be flown back to Panama City from Guatemala in January for a couple weeks to provide the finishing touches on a major renovation, before we fly home in Early February.
We are in the midst of framing and hanging the last handful of pieces, solidifying our promotional materials, documenting all aspects and tidying up loose ends.
What a trip!
Here's a picture of me out in the street showing the Presidential Policia some of the paintings I did of them. I had some help hauling them off the walls and out into the middle of the road for them to see. At first they thought I was crazy for sure, but they couldn't stop looking at them. Alexis' smile tells it all. At least I didn't get arrested...again.
Thanks for the photo skills Corinna.
And YES, that is a Whistler Podium Auto Detail shirt I have on.

Luna's Castle is a truly amazing place, and when you travel throughout Central America, you will undoubtedly here stories about how people come here and stay a while. Many people overnighting it, end up here for a week or more. I get a little wild sometimes and the 160 vodka jello shooters I made the other night to toss around for good measure, certainly don't hurt the fun-o-meter, not to mention it's so damn hot, everyones nearly naked!

What Luna's lacks in a natural outback setting, it makes up for with gigantic space to move around, a jungle courtyard, lazy hammock breezeway, big screen movie theatre, free internet, timely laundry service, new guitars, bad ass art, panoramic ocean and city views and super rad vibes. Panama City is a modern hub and great jumping off point to South America and many awesome surf locations, islands and jungle treks.
Check out these little cuties we found on Isla Taboga, a 45 minute ferry ride from here.

Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
Yeah! The ones the natives used the poison from to tip their blowdart points for hunting.

Fiddler Crab
These little guys are reeeeeaaaaal darn fast and beautiful saturated reds, purples and yellows.

Central American Smooth Gecko
We found this guy in an old Army War Bunker on a hike. He's 10 inches long!

Redrump Tarantula
Actually....a little bigger than the size of my palm. On the trail at our feet.

BAIL INTO THE CREATIVE REVOLUTION!

Everyone hates math, so here it is...don't be a hater.
Controversy and sex sell. I have a girlfriend, so here's the other.
$700,000,000,000 -bailout
divided by 400 (approx.) the # of paintings I have at my disposal
equals $1,750,000,000 which is the price I would have to sell each painting for, to cover this soon-to-be-bigger mess than it already is.

After 3o hours of work, this painting tells a lot.

"$700 Billion bailout for only $100,000.00" - 36"x48" - "FOR SALE" $100,000.00

So this painting is only $100,000.00. It is "for sale" and we figure it is one hell of a screaming deal for that lucky person with a significantly smaller amount than $700,000,000,000, who wants a non-polluting, emission-free, tangible investment sure to become a valuable short-term and long-term reward.
Barely chump change for the right buyer and I guarantee I will personally deliver it to you anywhere, worldwide to ensure it's safe, mortgage-free, no-catch arrival at your doorstep.

If nearly everyone in the world didn't bite the baitless mortgage/loan/finance/economic money hook the savages threw in when life was cherry, no one would be in this position and we would never be on the brink of....wait for it..........
on a bigger, badder, more serious scale than any point in recent history..........

"A CREATIVE REVOLUTION"
Here it comes!!!!!!!
WHY?
When this economic situation has leveled out, millions of people worldwide will be affected. They will be forced to think about business differently, view issues far more creatively, see one another on a more empathetic level. People will find new creative outlets to live the new way they may have never experienced.
There IS more to life than money.
Many people associated with penthouse suites, stock markets, 10 bedroom homes, global portfolios, Armani suits(trademark), board meetings, Rolex(trademark), 3 meals out, triple Manhattan martinis, diamond cuff links, day trading, Rolls-Royce (trademark), and 7am-6pm forget to view the world from an angle other than standing atop a stack of 100's.
Creativity is a vast interconnected energy that once tapped into will bring about new, exciting patterns, freedoms, realities and truths.
Creativity, once accepted and utilized is uplifting, entertaining, rational and persistent.
Everyone has it in them, some just forgot to follow this path.

GET CREATIVE........SHOW SOME LOVE!!!!!
Think outside the box
Don't eat money even if it's all you have
and PLEASE.............buy the above painting.

Here are the other piece I have created in the last 2 weeks. ENJOY!
