Hewey-I thought that your "If I won a million" sketch looks a bit like mine, but your planning was way better, cause the building is better centered and you fit a truck in there.
I don't know if you saw the new tiki mug by Munktiki called Orongo (which is the name for the Birdman Cult located on Easter Island) Theres more to the island than Moai and the Birdman is equally interesting.
I like the name so much that I think that will be the name of a future future tiki bar for me. I hope that its not taken yet by another but I don't think that it is. The cement thing is going well and I thought that, since I love the look and mystic of the bird "logo", I had to make one. I will probably use the photo of my bird for a bar sign. I think that my bird actually came out better than the actual bird of the birdman.

I had my birthday over the weekend and every gift that I got were tiki. Most of it was stuff that I have never saw. Its rare when a tiki item gets by me. But some of the items were from Myrtle Beach Tiki Jims.? Something like that. I will have to show more pictures later. One of the best parts were three mugs made from my dad that does not know much about tiki. A fresh mind. I love my three new, one-of-akind mugs. Each one very different with different concept pionts.
I know that many TC's love the Bastard and my dad made this one from looking at a picture from Quest. Its close in size and the look. Its back is different but what can you expect. I like it better for this reason though. I really liked that Sneaky Tiki and this one is simuliar in the color treatment. Its sortof a bronze color inside and out. I made a limited edition card for it with a gold foil stamp of its image. Its name- Suffering Brass

Thanks Benzart
I like it too. I was thinking about doing fake rocks with the bird logo on it just like the real deals. I just need to hide the bird some behind thick vegatation. Actually that bird is a fountain.

What about the other 2 mugs your Dad made? That Suffering Brass is beautiful, I'd love to see pictures of the others and to hear about the sculpting, glazing & firing of all three. Plus, you said you're making a limited edition card for Suffering Brass, is he a limited edition of one, or is your Dad making more?

Freddiefreelance- It seemed like the glazes at my school are not as good as the ones at my dad's school. It takes me more work to get a reaction from two glazes were just one glaze at my dad's class works. I found this Trader Vic's thing this weekend. The two colors pretty much match.
Here is part of the Limited Edition card for Suffering Brass. Its one card with one picture but two angles to show its gold foil qaulities. The card is the highest grade paper too. I like TikiDiablo saying he's the best mug maker in SoCal. Munktiki is North CAli. Well, I think I will say I'm the best in Michigan.

Here is a cement wall mask that I made today next to the kitchen sink. Its of the above image of the Trader Vic statue. Although it does have a bit of changes made, due to artist licenses. Now that it is done, it looks like other stuff that I have seen before.
I also made a Necker Island idol that I will post probably tomorrow due to still drying.

Its nice to hear encouraging words from two guys that I'm a fan of.
Here is my Necker Island piece that I did yesterday. There is only one picture of them on Google. I think that it said that there are only seven and in this picture there were five from one collection and some were just the heads. It was sort of like doing a gingerbread man. I could do a bunch for Christmas but then I would be the only one to know what it was. So here is number eight.
