Well, it's spring and as usual I find myself needing to satisfy my recurring Tiki Jonze! I have been drooling over all the pics of work by everyone, especially Tiki Shark, Benzart, Paipo, Tama, Basement Kahuna and GMAN(all I can say is GZUS!) to name the ones most prominent in the front of my mind. Whatta a place you all have cultivated. So much comaraderie and instruction. I know once we get settled in our new house I will be implementing so much of what i've learned while lurking I started feeling like a thief so I wanted to introduce myself and maybe help where I can. Like someone else here (who painted a Soto painting for themselves, how cool?) my impetus for creating things was to surround myself with objects I desired, but had no money to spend on them even if i could find what my mind yearned to see in reality. Unfortunately I am inbetween homes and all my stuff is in storage, plus my computer was stolen in Memphis, so I don't have too much to show at the moment. I have done one Tiki carving, about 4 or 5 inches long on a small dowel I found in my garage, with a dremel and every bit that came with it (some were useless, some are ruined, LOL!). No pics of that at the moment, but I can show you my airbrushed bowling pin Tiki and a shrunken head I did out of clay from a drawing I did on 2" wide masking tape while farting around at my job. I made a mold of the shrunken head out of craft store rubber molding junk and got one cast out of it, ruining the clay model. Sorry about the small size of the clay piece pic, it's all I got right now. It's about the size of my hand, not that you know how big my hand is, but I'm not sure how to describe it and the casting is in storage. Anywho, good to be here, thanks for looking!
