OK... so I haven't posted in a while
Looks like there is no shortage of work going on around here tho.Great stuff guys!!!
Lotta Moai lately. Very few pics tho.
I did get a really fun commission piece for the Hurricane Swim Club in Louisiana.
This is to be presented to their coach at the annual banquet this coming weekend by the senior class swimmers.
The team requested some very specific features in this carving:
-swim goggles
-semi-crouched stance, in position to dive
-perched on a separate starting block, featuring the names of the senior swimmers
-the team logo in the headdress
-features of Akua Kai, prominent water figure, brother of Lono
-a honu tattoo, the coach was given a honu shell as a gift while working with a youth swim team in Hawaii
Made for a great carving experience with a challenging form I had not attempted or seen before.
Lotta fun here - really hated to let this one go. Seems like it is going to a really great guy tho!
Any how here's a few pics:
