Its nice to be a good influence for once, righty onwards with another set of castings, apologies for really bad camera phone pictures.

I started this piece to enter into the Amsterdam Tiki Show but due to a chronic case of RSI I totally failed to finish it on time. I had the idea to reuse the button eyed Tiki who's mold had turned out warped, so i took a copy of him, added the "wee drunkin' Tiki" and then made them a new friend..

Then I cut up the failed mold added some more gelfex, edged it in clay and then pored the boiling vinyl and awaited any giant bubbles that signify a major catastrophe in the casting..

Then a bit painting, couple of coats of varnish, a bit of my favorite bark-cloth shirt that had given up the ghost, a hacked burnt wood Spanish souviner prints frame and you have my new piece "Screwed, Stewed & Tattooed"

and here is a little close up of the tattooed figure..
