That's a beautiful piece of art in a great setting. Congratulations to both of you.

Hello All!
Been absent for a bit as I prepare for a few shows (and have been battling severe pain from a cracked tooth that has to come out next week!).
I am in the very early stages of my painting for Elroy Artspace's Hapi Tiki show. I should post some progress on that soon. Also, had the idea for a Fisherman God pendant or sculpt of some sort (also would love to do this as a mug) I finished the sculpt today and it seems too big for a pendant....if I can make decent casts of it I will have them available mounted and hand painted...
Here's a pic, pre-firing!

Sorry about the tooth Robert, hope that goes well.
Sculpt is very cool, I'm interested!

Thanks Chris! I was all doped up and ready for a root canal when the Doctor found the crack in my tooth...So now the oral surgeon has to finish the job on Tuesday! Never thought I'd say I was really looking forward to seeing the Dentist!
Here's the backed final sculpt plus a color mock-up:

Surf Music makes my Tiki happy! New painting in progress for Elroy Artspace's "What Makes Your TIKI Hapi?" Show. More soon!

Both new projects look great, Robert. The cracked tooth the kind of nasty little distraction that always strikes when you're really busy. I hope that improves soon.

I'm no expert but I've been to a Tiki event or two and I know there's no such thing as "too big" when it comes to a pendant. There's always some Flava Flav of the tiki world that will be wanting to wear it 
The pendant and the painting are looking good Robert. Take care of those teeth, my son once interviewed a meth user as a school project. He said he lost a lot of friends and possesions using drugs but of all the things he lost he missed his teeth the most!

Thanks Mike and Greg! I actually visit the dentist every 4 months, this issue may have come from grinding (insert joke here)
Worked on a Moai sculpt today. Here's the instagram pic:

Robert you are so good at sculpting and at painting. Both projects look terrific. There just are not enough hours in the day to do all we want to do it there? I sure enjoy seeing a part of one of your paintings come to life in your hands working clay. Wonderful, Wendy

Thanks Wendy, appreciate your kinds words!! You're right about not enough hours! Wish we could do something about that! 
Had my tooth pulled today! Pain is pretty bad but not even the shadow of what I went through last week.
Made a few changes to the Hapi Tiki piece! Still lots to go!
