Here is the latest tiki pals.
This is Maka Puke ("Face Book") a piece of doug fir.
I sold both cannibal pieces at Tiki Caliente and started another out of a chunk of basswood so I will have something for the local Tiki Kon here in Portland come August.
Also got invited to an Elroy Artspace show that runs through August. There is a frame work that I don't usually adhere to in anything I do so this intrigued me. It had to include the Paul Nielsen mug design on left and be wall-hangable. I used a half round section of cedar for the rough.

Are you saying you don't to be told what to do?  That Elroy Show should be fun, you had a piece in last year's too if I remember right. Isn't that show in your area?

Thanks dudes. Mike I have done the local Elroy show the last 3 years in conjunction with the Tiki-Kon event. Joe is a friend that runs the event and has asked me to do a live carve this year so I am looking forward to that if it works out. Next will be my second attempt at the art swap. My first sketch featuring a sexy Pele Lani straddleing a tiki/rocket/volcano shaped projectile was banned by the local censorship board as being "inappropriate" and "sexist".

Like a tiki version of the old Bob Seger logo?
I like it!

If I knew how to add a smiley face I would Mad Dog. Thanks Keylo, I have been wondering where you have been. Hope to see some new work of yours soon.

I won't be attending Tiki Oasis this year Wendy but am considering it for the next. I am already looking forward to Tiki Caliente 5 however and hope to see you there.

Here is a little bit of progress.
"Stu"
I noticed an upswing in real cannibal activity lately so this will be my last piece on the subject till things simmer down a bit.
I hollowed out the back and added a small red Christmas bulb to give off a warm glow from the stomach area and highlight the hapless victim.
Also close to finishing this Hapi Tiki for the Elroy show in August.

I like where your style is heading. Love the cannibals of late. The lighting on the last one sets it off greatly.
Looking forward to more.
