My daughter always teases me about the way my tikis come out so symmetrical. So I decided to play with this guy's teeth a bit, especially since they were so big to begin with!
Mahalo for looking!

I didn't think you needed to change anything, but hey, who am I? Respect to you for getting out and pushing that comfort zone to try something new.

Damn. If it wasn't for that missing front tooth, he'd look a lot like me. Nice work FD, I'm like'n your little ones a lot. He'd look kind'a nice with a cigar.

Ben, thank you for being so encouraging and just an all around cool guy. My future carvings are all dedicated to you and those who have helped teach me and inspired me to reach just a little higher. You the man!
Sam, those teeth were totally inspired by some of your paintings! Specifically the one that I used for that bat I painted a while back. Thanks!
Aaron, Kirby, Hewey, Polynesiac, Foamy, ManaKoa, PalmCityTiki, Sam Gambino, Benzart, Conga and all the others who check my posts, you guys rock! Thank you, as always, for the kind words. I never, NEVER, would have even tried to carve anything if it weren't for you. You are all my ohana and I'm so proud to be mixed in with such an amazing and talented group of artists.
Mahalo!!
