I look at your work and I think, "How could anyone top the quality of these pieces?"
On T.C. we have sooo many talented sculptors, so much originality, it's clear the cutting edge is always being freshly cut.
I ask other questions:
Can anyone outsculpt Michaelangelo?
Does anyone have more delicious brushwork than Sargent?
Are there any better visual storytellers than N.C. Wyeth?
Can anyone top the luminosity of Maxfield Parrish?
Is it possible to squeeze more perfection from simple clay than Bai?
The same answer applies to each question, obviously.

Robb... You definately have no idea how much your nice words means to me right now. I'm not gonna tell all my life here and now. but I want you to know that it is helping me. As I read in some post some people had a very bad moment recently... (Clarita I'm sending you a big hug across the ocean)
Thanks to all of you around the world to keep this aloha spirit.I read somwhere that Aloha could means "souffle de vie" = breath of life...
keep this word on your mind !
ALOHA!!!!!!

I just want to be clear with my last mug... god of fortune.
I just saw the picture of the munktiki new mug ..."fortune" even it doesn't looks the same I wanted to be clear, I just finished the mold of this one... so I didn't know we could have the same idea at the same time...
just... hope you'll like mine anyway...

Very nice, Baiby! That is exactly the Witco mug I wanted to put out for the publishing of "Tiki Modern"! Unfortunately the family wouldn't let me. Please put one aside for me for my next visit (don't know yet when). Here is your "Tahitian" altar at my house :
