Ken!
Wow!
Talk about hitting one out of the park!
That guy is beautiful!
A spectacular finish and wise choice of colors bring this one all together!
Also love the addition of the leopard loin cloth to give it some texture and exotic feel!
Nice work!

too fuckin cool! Ken, if i had the money i would commission you to do a Asaro mudman, one with boars tusks, or a Goroka in full garb ready to attend a dance festival (like the mount Hagen). Something like this in your style http://www.dicklang.com.au/img_products/Image/PNG%20GOROKA%2004%20041.jpg Really would look great in the vain of the piece you just posted
p.s. frickin economy maybe when i get back to work and have some scratch

Hey there NW carver! I really like your witch doctor carvings. I'm all about color as a way to highlight different areas in a carving and make it come to life. you do that so perfectly!
Nice carve! This can't be the only thing you've done lately?!?!?! post more stuff when you get a chance!!!
I'm still impressed with the whole chainsaw thing - I can barely cut a straight line with one!

Thanks Jungle, Conga and lake.
Oceaocit, that would be a fun one to try.
Leleliz thank you sorry my website does not have much to offer. I do remake items I have sold. When I find time.
Polynesiac many thanks, This is one of the few items I have done for a while.
I have been working out of town a lot and when I am around the weather has not been very carving friendly. So I am in the process of building a lot bigger place to carve.
Hey Revboo mahalaz the Pleasant fam is doing good, tell the boo clan hello.
Thanks Seeks.

I love the new little voodoo witch doctor...the grain and the paint really compliment each in the best ways! That tangaroa you did a while back is amazing too, I must have missed it before.
