Howzit braddah D,

You hit da nail on da head with that brah. When I created Tangaroa, that is the look I was looking for. Dat old, just got dug up look. That's da kine I like.

I herd threw some friends here to go check out your new t'ings. You know you got my support D. I look towards our project together....ho, did I say that out loud?
Yes, me and Diablo are creating a mug together and being that I don't do faces very well and he did such da good wun on his shrunken head he will also be doing my next mug for Uncle Marty "Mr. Martin Denny"(I miss ya!!)

I don't have much time so, here is a few pics. I'll have this at O'asis. I have continued my Legends of Exotica series. The second to come out is "Sophisticated Savage" for da "original birdman" Mr. Augie Colon of da Martin Denny group. Augie played da congas and did the bird calls.
I was having a few beers and pupus last month Lopaka Colon son of Augie and legend Arthur Lymans son Arty Jr. Both of them are as good as there dads!!! Anyways, me and Arty Jr. talked about a mug for his dad and he said "sounds good" so, da rest will be history. That will be da 3rd mug in this Legends series.

Anyways, I'll see you braddahs and sisstahs at da O!

Here you see that da mug leans its head to da back. While watching video of him I noticed he would tilt his head back sometimes and get a big deep breath and look up to get da loud beautiful bird call out of his full lungs while he played on da congas

I just finished this last week by carving da Rapa Nui "birdman" image on da back of his head. These will be maid by me right here in beautiful Honolulu Hawaii.

I know I haven't posted any carvings so here's one I did a couple days ago. One of my vintage looking styles with da rope on da bottom and da half body moko that you sometimes see on my carvings from way back.

K'den Danny Diablo, talk story later bra.
Aloha peopo!
