Thanks, Mike. Your piece for the Palm Springs Tonga Hut is awesome!
So, I recently figured out how to upload pictures from my phone onto my computer, so here's a progression of my Ku lamp, that I've always wanted to post.
First, I wrapped a slab around a pipe. I stared at the bare clay, until I decided it was going to be a Ku, then started a rough sketch.


At this point, I'm still subtracting clay, but will start to add for the chest, arms, legs, headdress, and parts of the face.

Coils are added for the headdress and arms.

Here's my start of the face. I didn't take pictures, but I cut the nose off 5-6 times until I got it like this.

Sorry that some of the pictures are coming out small.
