Thanks for the feedback - I was asked to attend the LA event but I have to be in Hawaii in January and need to get some carving done. Hope to do the LA show next year.

Aloha (or konichiwa) back from Japan and finally got a few minutes to post some photos of my trip - been very busy marketing tikibeat As most of you will know I was a guest artist at this Years Yokohama Hot Rod Show with Keith Weesner, Dan Collins, Cole Foster, Kutty Noteboom (sinners) and the Kennedy Brothers. It was a fantastic event there were so many interesting people there - too many to mention. I felt very privileged to be amongst so many talented people truly a great honour. The Moon Tiki got fresh with a little pinup girl before our trip and he was sold to raise money for a Childrens Home in Japan.
Shige (Owner of Mooneyes) and myself holding the mooneye/tikibeat mug.
The Pizz (Beatniks) is one of many of the artists that left their mark on my 48 Buick Glovebox (bit wierd to explain to customs but worth packing.
