Hey grog, The picture of Ben looks like a photograph but still done in a painted style. Is that something that you were able to do in Photoshop? What are the phtots taped to the canvas of?

It's all Photoshopped Teakey. The picture on the canvas was from this photo, and I used some filters and drew on it in Photoshop to make it look a bit more hand-drawn.

The photos at the right are Ben's "Inspirations and influences". His wife Vicki, his dad, his mom, a map of Hawaii, and his kids.

Thanks everybody who has responded on here with such favorable remarks. If you're going to Tiki farm's parking lot sale, Nick will be debuting the mag there, so if you get one and run into me, I'll be happy to sign it for you. Bamboo Ben is on-the-road doing some builds, so you'll have to get him to sign it at another time.

Wow.....GREAT Cover....what a great concept. It's amazing to see Ben's parents are just as tiki as he is....cool !
