Period, end of discussion. Who is Bosko? Oh, just some guy who helped start the tiki carving / mug revival! Please realize that if it wasn't for Bosko doing tikis since the "80's ,we (yes I include myself 100% ) probably wouldn't be "chopping" them today . I have to just chime in here to say I totally agree. Not only are Bosko and all the artists at this show amazing artists, they have been amazingly helpful and open to teaching so many of us of new carvers. I can't thank the "masters" enough, I feel honored to have learned from so many.
