Hey, everyone- I've been following these forums for a while, and only now realized that I've yet to post anything of my own! I've been working on a retro tiki theme for my living room over the past few weeks, something I'm sure you can all relate to, and into about my third coating of wood stain I realized I could post it here, along with some of my character design and illustration work. So, yes- enjoy!

First off, some first draft designs for Pele and Poliahu; Pele's going to be changed a lot, but I'm posting her anyway:

Next a Papua New Guinea-inspired character, definitely drawing from some tiki proportions and aesthetics:

Finally, for my living room, some cardboard and harpie tikis made from furniture boxes:

...and a swithplate for my lights which I woodburned and stained myself:

I want to do tons more tiki work in the future, so here's hoping this is the first of many art dumps! :D
Here's my site if you want to see more of my work, though not entirely tiki: http://www.shoomlah.com
