Just back from Hawaii- Did you see me? No, because I carved like a crazy man. In less than 3 weeks we managed to get a giant leap of a start.
Not nearly enough time left for meeting the locals and visiting Tiki central folks- but plans are to return soon…..
I am happy to announce my work will soon, finally be available in the U.S.!
To accomplish this I have begun a collaboration with Karen Maguire of Maguire Interiors. (Seattle / Honolulu)
Karen is an Interior designer and Hawaiiana and Tiki antiques dealer, and a huge tiki fan!
On arrival she had a 12’ Mango log waiting for me in her driveway – that she now admits may have been an overly ambitious purchase, but great strides were made and I can’t wait to post the shots of our Marquesan “Henry”. Additionally she had a teeny tiny restoration job to do on a big vintage pair you’ll see in the new Nordstrom store @ Ala moana. The restoration was a project and a half and I’ll post those shots as well.
Karen has an extensive art background and lots of clients and contacts in Hawaii so we got off to a great start with our marketing efforts.
A local filmmaker shot an interview of me which is now posted on You-tube. There was also another T.V. appearance on the KGMB morning news.
Additionally there are other interviews and articles in the works and yes, another 8’ log arrived in the driveway.
