thanks Chris...I'm actually pretty stoked on this guy.

I did a lot of ku's for awhile & I just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over, so I just kinda stopped doing them for a bit, but during my run in Anna Maria 6 months ago it was my signature piece. But when I really started looking at pics of the actual Ku's, like in Hawaii, it hit me that I really wasn't giving enough.

So, my new "bar" is that I don't want to make any "Hawaiian" tikis that would look out of place in Hawaii, or that the Hawaiians themselves would not view as truly honoring their culture.

The most important thing to me has become progression. I am consumed by it. Anyway, I need to get started on the next character Moai..."the pilot"...
