This week's stuff:

Palau Storyboard:

The guy who sold it to me said he had another one like it he sold yesterday. I went by his booth 4-5 times over the course of 2 hours yesterday and he didn't have them out. All I saw were the stupid Mexican plaster piggy banks that he always has. Timing.
Anyway, out in the field, I thought it looked like it was carved by the same guy that carved my giant storyboard:

So I bought it and came home to see...

Lancelink told me a way to tell who carved it was checking the borders. It's kind of like a signature

Bam! looks like a match!
Second test to be 100% sure is I check for style or design clues that look similarly carved:

Made it easy with pretty much the exact same hut carved in both pieces.

A pair of Tahitian slit drums.

Mauna Kea Beach hotel art book with a few pages of PNG:

Castaways ashtray:

Hoped it was the restaurant MaddogMikes pop carved the tikis for, but it's a non tiki hotel

Now it looks like the type of hotel that tweakers on welfare live in month to month.

Lidless concave stickered OMC Bali Hai mug

Damn! I sold my spare lid!

Buzzy Out!
