Dayyum Paipo, he's a Beauty, and he looks to have a Mosquito biting him on the noggin and making him scream. Probably not your intention, but that was my first thought. Anyway he is a sight for sore eyes. Glad to hear you are busy doing productive stuff! 
Can't wait to see the rest of the Photos so...take your time Rock Star!

Well Ben, he is/supposed to be a PNG bird mask influenced figure, mixed with yet another Bumatay style mask, but now you mention it...!
I don't know what it is with these bug-eyed freaks, but like your moko & moai guys they seem to have gotten under my skin (a bit like a mosquito)
Pics are here now. Thanks Duddy!
Stone Tiki #57 - Blackwater Bumatay
This might be the new record holder for "biggest pebble tiki" next to the Lono...he's about 3" long and 1 1/2" wide!

Great stone work. How do you sign your name to the back? is it with a bit, or sand blast?

I really like where you are headed with these. The PNG influence is killer! You just need to post more often. I do know how life gets in the way though.

Have you been copying my test paper?? I have two projects in the works that have elements you used in this guy. Eyes of one and the bird of another. Excellent as usual.
