Flippin' amazing. This one might be your finest work ever. I like how he looks asleep lying on the ground while you're working on him, then once he's raised up and the eyes inlaid - POW! Keep this up and they won't let you leave the islands next time!

Aloha everyone - thought I'd load this one before I head off to Hawaii on Wednesday - don't get a chance to many small pieces these days so it was a nice change.
Customer wanted a keyring and he really liked the Viva Las Vegas Mug from a couple of years ago - I have now had some mold's made which I am selling a limited amount of.

Now Marcus likes to tell us he's nice and busy, funny thing is, I bumped into him at a hot rod run a few weeks back  Ah well, I'll make sure I pester him when Im up in his territory in a few weeks for Wintersun.

WOW, Marcus! What a STUNNER!
This has instantly become one of my favorite all-time carvings, vintage or modern!
Keep up the amazing work!
LOVE those EYES -- and the LIPS looking like bound reeds! Reminds me of the ship from The Ra Expedition or the Aloha Bar in Barcelona!
This majestic and haunting piece has weight in more ways than one. Any chance you'll produce some miniature replicas? 
Cheers & Mahalos
