Hey Babs and GMan, thanks for taking a peek at Conga's latest abberation.
Tim Burton, huh GMan? I can see it...the story behind this guy is pretty
simple. We have seen some really great Ku carvings lately, notably
Tahitiki and Seeksurf, impeccable form, hard to beat.
I have had a Ku in my head for some time (while I was doing birds/hogfish/
manaia over the winter) but decided to do more of an upright position
figure along the lines of the primitive stuff in Meyer's "Oceanic Art"
books. Also looking for a more creepy sinewy figure. Tim Burton? Yea
pretty close!
Not sure where this will lead, might lead to an early spring bonfire :)
