Thanks again to everyone for having a look at this thread and all the positive feedback. It is really motivating. I'm working on some new things (painting and carving) but in the meantime here are a couple of pieces from earlier last year.

The first is a mounted resin cast in a handmade frame. It is the same character I use in some of my paintings and this little resin one predates those. There is also a full body version which I have given all away as fridge magnets. I will post him when I make some more. He started as my own personal version of a Coco Joe's type souvenir.

This one is not Tiki but it may appeal to some of you. The devil head is cast resin painted with acrylic and the background is acrylic on masonite. The box is stained maple. I call it" Behave Yourself". I think I might add a little banner that says behave yourself to the top or bottom. The devil head I sculpted with Chavant plastecine clay. The theme is tongue in cheek. I didn't become born again overnight or anything.

And another angle.

Thanks again, more on the way. I'm working really long hours right now so no promises when.
