I ran into Seatle tiki carver Edwin Germaine last weekend and am happy to report that his work continues to get more interesting. He's added tiki masks ($20-$40 at the sale where I saw him) to his work, they have a strong minimalist quality to them that reminds me of pieces that could have been created for a mid-60's Tiki joint. He also produces freestanding tikis carved out of tree trunks (an excellent 2 foot tall tiki head made from a cherry tree trunk was $30). Mr Germaine's tree trunk tikis have a very expressive and somewhat cartoony style. His business is called Tiki Gods and he has a studio in George Town. His business number is (206)-762-2381.
