Your stuff is always great. I think all your work would be great in one of those huge colorful books like you find at a Barnes and Noble Book Store. Don't know if you have them there or get what I am saying but yea a big book of your work would be great to look at.

Excellent work Marcus!
I really like this guy, and he has a great vintage vibe to him.
Like something you would find in the corner of a Trader Vic's circa 1960.
Thanks for the update, keep up the great work in 2010!

This is from Holden (Tiki Farm) as posted on the Careless Navigator website

| We’ve also just completed sculpting and are going into glaze sampling on a new Frankenstein (okay, not “Tiki” but it’s still cool) design for the upcoming Wintersun gig in Coolangatta (www.wintersun.org.au) designed by none other then the noted Aussie Tiki carver, Marcus Thorn |

Max and James have been commissioned to put their own spin on the Wintersun Tshirt. And Marcus Has created a limited edition monster mug. All three artists will be at the show signing and selling.

Thanks Ben - might have to wait a while for the big stuff again - I have a lot of pieces to get through and they are all handy travel size. I have taken six months off travelling to Hawaii but am heading back over in May so maybe I will get another big fella done. Always make time in my day to pop on to Tiki Central to see what everybody is up to - even if I dont get the chance to write and post - hoping my wife will spend some time this weekend loading photos of my latest work
Take care
