"Thank surfintiki!! Where do I come up with this stuff? well, everything has to do with everything in my case, I mean my "Tikis" are very me, a mix of all the stuff I like (I grew up watching cartoons, then studied hand made animation, so I like simple strong colorful characters a lot. and i like music a lot too so those are my two biggest influences I think) and the way I am (weird, rebel, honest....) to me the tiki culture has music in it, if you get what I mean. and the other thing is that I don't like designing first and then carving or using anything as reference, I like to go with the flow of the material and surprising myself with the result...

But in this case I'm drawing the general lines and then carving and changing it on the way, I already draw the other two guys but who knows how they are going to end up looking like
Thanks again everybody, your support means a lot to me, really! "

Just Listen to you sounding like the perfect artist. Tell us More. Now I see where some of your design skillz come from.

I just realized this guy is beating drums held up by a Bamboo Stand? I Can't Stand it your mind thinks ahead in such neat ways.
Of course I Still am Amazed at the crisp perfection of your detail and from the sounds of it you had better get busy as there are dozens here wanting your Neat drummer bands
I've said it before and now again, Your signature is Awesome!
