Surfintiki, I sent Bob & Leroy that pic along with a link to this thread. I mentioned all of the Leroy-inspired art, and the trail of Leroy’s tiki (unhappy ending and all :( ). I didn’t ask for a reply, but I like to think that they got a real kick out of all the different Leroy interpretations that everyone has posted here.

Here’s an excerpt from some previous correspondence that I had with Bob at O.A. (Bob mentioned that it was okay to post his replies):

**A-A: “Do you and Leroy ever post on Tiki Central? I didn't think you guys were active with that bulletin board / website…” **

**Bob: “Oceanic Arts does not post on Tiki Central----never have the time. I do reply to some questions if they show an email address.” **

So it seems that the guys from O.A. do lurk here at TC from time to time, and I imagine a fair amount of that is on this forum.

Bob, thanks for posting your tiki here – I was hoping that you would. Unbelievable first effort! Yet another excellent Leroy interpretation! Keep up the great work.
