heres a shrunken head painting I did, acrylics on wood

tiki #4?

back of no.4

green mask i painted, its on the lid from a human powered submarine i help build...go figure, its next to my guitar so you can see the size

drunk tiki bob painting, acrylics on wood

tiki i carved out of the base of an oolldd palm frawn, then i painted it in with red, looks like something that was charred by a volcano

heres a charcoal drawing i did of a fink lookin surfer, this was my first time using charcoal

mr.bali hai painting, i like this one because i painted it right in the middle of the jessoed paper, its not matted on it

heres an in progress shot of my latest tiki "idol of the jivaro" tiki #5? its still has to be stained, and i have to finish painting the hair and detail on the shrunken heads and do the stiches on them

close up of the shrunken head, still need to paint the hair, detail, and stiches

side view, the heads go all the way around the base

close up of the front of the base

heres another little palm wood mask i carved, this one about the size of my fist, this ones is being transformed into a belt buckle,i dug out the back and got the buckle, i just need to attach the two

Im REALY stoaked with this peice. I sculpted the shrunken head out of clay, made a plaster mold, then did a latex casting. then i painted it, added hair, put the little bone through the nose,stiched up the mouth and lips, and tied in some feathers and beads. some of the beads i actualy got from the amazon when i was there last summer! its going to be mounted on a coconut shell base i made. im going to be making a few of these this summer, and yes, they are for sale
:D
