Hey TeaKey!
Thanks man! Glad these are appealing to even the Diehard Tiki Fans!As per the "Peek at Squid",kind of like when that band KISS was shown unmasked!!! Squid is human,contrary to popular belief and the photos prove it! (I have a suspicion he has webbed feet or a third eye somewhere on his person, probably an extra hand,as he is one fast and precise carver!)
As for the Mugs.....
I think these 3 range from 7-9" in height (I'll have to re-check my notes)but they carve 'em a lot bigger. I'm thankful they do or we wouldn't have been able to cram all that detail in there! But they are mugs-worry not!

(Actually,it shrinks 15% so Sir Squidley has to compensate for that...)

My Grandma Ed had a huge collection of Beer Steins, among other things (collectors plates/figurines/books/garage sale treasures) some of them were 4 feet tall! Him and my grandma live in this old painted lady style home up in Chicago and it was PACKED with all this cool stuff! And the Steins were taller than I was! Just looking at how huge the mug sculpt was-it was got me to thinkin' about Tiki Beer Steins,but would that be Tiki? Tiki is mixed tropical inspired drinks.... not beer! Tiki people enjoy both,but in different settings,I guess... I guess with Tiki, Art, Science and lately, our Constitution, that rules will be overturned and re-interpreted.Tiki Steins? Maybe some day......
