Wellllll...everybody, don't get too excited now! To let the interested (if there are any) see what the Spanish loot looks like, here's an attempt to actually post an IMAGE of the happy Tiki family:

If you can see this, here are the painful facts:

Class of Kon-Id, 2004
(From Left top to bottom right:)

TARINGA $40.-/ FUNNY FACE $40.-/ BAMBOO FACE $50.-/BUCKY $40.-/TAMI MASK $40.-

FEATHER FACE $69.-/ KU REEF BOWL $69.-/ MAORI MUG $69.-/ RONGO $50.-/
HYPNO FACE $40.-

I left the Reef Bowl all in the blue base glaze because adding brown to the Ku faces made the mold too globby, sacrificing sculptural quality for color. The mold on the Maori Mug is new and much better detail than the one I had before, really like Maori Moko. Hypno face is very sharp, too. And the paint job on all is superb handicraft. But the best is that they all have MY Kon-Id logo underneath:

Kon -Id is the logo for the upcoming
SVEN A. KIRSTEN GALLERY FOR THE KONTEMPORARY IDOL (with a nod to Bill Westenhaver) which will be a website first, then maybe a real location later...

(The KON-ID logo was rendered by Kevin Kidney after my concept:
Turn it 90 degrees clockwise, and Voila, it's a modern primitive mask!)
