I love weekends, so much free time to do what needs to get done. So during Tiki Oasis this year I was sitting across the sidewalk from 4WDtiki in Artist Alley. All his excellent and crazy tikis where staring me down... it was a bit unsettling. Their influences must have rubbed off on me because I sketched one of them, and realized it in bone. So thanks Bill for the inspiration!

I lightly stained this one with tea.

I was also a stone's throw away from Ken and his insanely awesome paintings, and must have been influences by them as well. I figured it was time that a Rapa Nui Birdman got represented. Thanks Mr. Ruzic, and thanks for not throwing any squirrels my way.

I stained this in India Ink, hoping to give it a stone look but might have lost the bone qualities in the process.

My hand, especially my right thumb, is numb due to the vibrating Dremel all weekend. But it feels so good...
