I guess I lean towards the angry tiki as opposed to the happy tiki. Both are cool, but I think some attitude adds to the mystery of the environment we try to recreate.
AA, He'll be getting crossed arms this weekend.
Sam, sometimes it seems they do talk. Weird.
Hewey, The Little Kahuna wants to be in your garden.
Ben, I know, this one is a bit less ambitious than my recent attempts, but don't worry I'll be getting radical on the next few.
Conga, he's just moping because I wouldn't spot him another bottle of rum until he pays for the last one.
Sesame Street, my... I mean, thanks Rodeo, and Wahine.

I hope you know I meant that I thought his expression seems like he's displeased about something. I didn't mean that your tiki was awful. I just had a mai tai a couple of nights ago at Bryant's and I can't get it out of my mind because it was so bad.

fd, you must have snuck in a reply while I was writing my own. All's cool. I took your remark in the spirit that you intended, and appreciate it. I can only hope he keeps his personality intact until I finish him. Thanks.

I was just checkin out the little kahuna again (yeh i love it) and noticed he's hiding one hand behind his back, and the other is hidden in his Hawaiin shirt at the front. Whats he hiding?
Is this another one of your angry tikis with a knife - wrapped up in a chearfull wrapper just to lull everyone into a false sense of security (apart from Finkdaddy who is on edge after a bad Mai Tai experience).

Hewey, he's just striking a classic Napolean pose. Nothing devious.

I was hoping to varnish this guy today, but we got nailed with an isolated thunderstorm. Hopefully he will dry off by tomorrow.

He looks like a bouncer. Would be cool to have 2 in the same style (but not identical) at the entry to a tiki bar.
Love it
