Amate,

I just went through this entire thread and I'm shocked at your body of work. To say your prolific would be a major understatement. Being relatively new to TC (having taken a 10yr absence) I've been discovering some of the amazing work being carved and yours is a definite standout for me. And right here in Texas. SO cool!!!

The care you put into your work, the bodies, the countenances, the finishes, all are remarkable. Oh and the killer pics you do really make them pop. The Moai bust on page 3 is one of the best I've ever seen. It just doesn't get better than that. Also the mini marquesan mask (on pg 50? on the bottom) is the coolest. Alien eyes!! I can only hope to one day put out work with such quality work as yours. Thanks for the inspiration sir. Much respect. -Jay
