Wayne and Gary should be flattered. Someone should be feeling realy good to have a style worth imitating. But if you are planning on setting up shop and using this particular style, I'd say they're too close for comfort. Take this with a grain of salt. Tiki carving by nature is plagerism to one degree or another, and we are all influenced by the good work of other artists as well as the traditional styles. You are obviously a carver with some talent. Perhaps you could infuse a little more of your own personal style into your tikis before you go into business. That's just my opinion. Probably the only opinions that really count here are yours, Wayne's, and Gary's. Keep posting, keep it positive, and stick with us. It's always great to see new carvers on TC. :) A-A
