Stunning, all of it. The texture and glaze combo on the Moai is perfect, the colors and style of the Voo-Doo mug are beautiful!
Keep it coming Baï!

Hi Bai! Good to see you are at it again. Even your simplest work, like those ashtrays, is real eye candy! One day I am gonna own a Bai mug!
I am hoping to work in your home town again this summer. And by then I might be able to share exciting news for local Tikiphiles (the two that are there ) of something on the horizon, which, even if still in the far future, might be the proper forum for your talents.

I love how you can see the bottom of Haka's feet on the back of the mug! Cool! Awesome bowl, too! In (very) general shape, it's similar to the Disney TIki Room bowl, but it is completely, totally, uniquely BAI!!!

Im sure Im not the first to think this.... but why dont you get hooked up with one of the mug manufacturers and get a few designs replicated?
Yours is such wonderful work and so well executed you seem like a prime candidate for a run of 200-300 mugs from a few of your more popular designs.

I'm right there with ya Monkeyman! I especially like the KavaKava Man mug and of course I'm partial to the Tiki Tonga. Baï for the masses.

spring's coming...
even the weather still really cold. the sun found Paris on his way...FINALLY!!!
You know.. it's hard to find some other words to say "thank you"... I feel like my english is really poor.. and i just have this little shy "thank's" .. but be sure, all of you that I really appreciate every each comment you make. Actually even I don't come everytime on TC...and ifI don't feel good... I just have to come visit TC.. and it makes me feel like to be in a great party! THANK YOU!
ok çà c'est dit. les français comprendront
Babalu: you are my inspiration and the fabulous idea of squid with the "pork" makes in evidence your incredible talent.
Bigbrotiki : I'm very excited about this mysterious news... ???!!!!!!!! did you know about our exhibition in may? (u should go on facebook )
Leleliz: You are so sweet. you always make my day with your nice encouragement. (special Thanks)
Ken: I MISS YOU!!!!!!
Tabunga: thank you (feel so stupid with this 2 words now  ) but anyway... I really appreciate your support! hug!
beadtiki : actually I was thinking about that since a long time...(the ashtray) but since I don't see a lot of artist doing it.. I thought maybe it was because it's an "insitation" to people to smoke...? I don't know... but I think I will develop this way anyway... and the ashtray can be used for anything else at least...
Monkeyman and Tiki tonga : You both put the finger in my biggest problem here. Actually I don't know how to create a mold. I've tryed several time to find somebody in France who can make it for me... but I don't understand why... the price for a mold and a serie are so expensive here. and even I find somebody in other country... the less command would be 300 mugs! I don't know if I can sale such many mugs!! and even If I do... wich one to choose? That's why I'm very impress about some artist here who can guess wich mug they gonna do on serie. it's like a "lotery".
I think I would be more confortable to work with a big "structure" because by my own.. it's to risky.
SO..... now let see what I've done lately...
Remeber this one?... so the approche for glazing it.. was how to make him very old... kind like "antique" . I've be working a lot on this one.
and here is the wahine lamp.
(I aloso create the shade on this.
the fisher. even it probably doesn't look like... this one is a mug. I would say a combination between a mug and a sculpture. I really had fun with this one.
and here some next creation in the kiln right know:
Have a happy tiki day
