That sea spirit of the Solomons piece is so cool, really nice job on that, what an interesting character that spirit is.

The Solomon Islands have some really neat art. This is a wild example and one I hadn't seen before. It almost looks like it has som Indonesian influence.
Great work.

Hey - That is super sweet! The eyebrow/crown and knee carvings are killing me!
[And the Forbidden Island shirt's nice, too. You aren't pointing to it in the first photo, are you? Did Martiki comission your latest creation?!!! Oh I'd be so stoked to work up next to it. ]
