I live pretty much the furthest from the sea as you can get in the uk, so in search of driftwood I found some thermalite bricks 'washed up' on the local building site. This is a lightweight building block with great insulation properties. This does make them very delicate, but have been great for me see if I can sculpt and make the look I'm after. This is my first crack at carving, mainly inspired by you lot.

I've kept the backs of the tikis as found [brick shaped].

I liked the idea of using inland drift-stuff to make tikis. Been to the reclaim yard near us and kicked about in the junk pile at the back. Got some great stuff. More soon.

This one is based on my tikiracer print/character - firstracer

Couldn't help myself and put a old speaker in the back of this one, so I can play polynesian drum music whilst sketching. Needs an amp really but maybe save that for the next one?

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.
