looking cool Marcus!!
amazing how you get those body shapes so spot on with just the chisels.
can't wait to see how he ends up.
also good luck for the auction on saturday - unfortunately i can't be there to bid on that beautiful piece, would love to though, that's one of my favourite styles and you've nailed it.

Thanks Ben and Harro for the kind words.
It would be great to see that tiki go to someone I know then I can visit him. The organisers told me today that the interest in the tiki is very high, that makes it worthwhile when you hear that sort of feedback - I hope they get a good price for him so that Josh and Monica can put the money towards their needs.
Ben - you are not well, I hope you are taking care of yourself mate - have a mai tai and kick back a bit - I will try and provide you with some stuff to entertain you.

The drummer's looking awesome, and I love the "understain" (if that's how you did it) tattoo on the Rarotongan guy. I hope you get big bucks for him at the auction.

Very nice work Marcus. I am keeping a close eye on the drummer guy - I learn a lot that way. That's very nice wood you're working with, too, it appears.

Marcus,
What would complete that picture (the chillaxing one) would be you puffing on a tiki pipe which I just happen to have. It's a NZ one that came back from one of my parents' cruises in the 60s... i think my mum bought it but she never smoked and i don't think my dad ever smoked a pipe either. If you PM me your address I'll send it off if you want it for nix. Think of it as a random act of tiki and as my appreciation for your work!

I love your stuff, it's so primitive, yet so hip! You got a lot of shapes going on there to carve, it really looks fantastic. Being a drummer, I might have to get around to carving something like this one day. I'm watchin this one!
