Sorry for the holdup with the pics.

**AN IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT THESE PICTURES:
Using someone else's photos is always very naughty, and the ease with which they're grabbed off the internet doesn't make it okay, legally or morally. In the case of these photos, I feel it's especially important to point this out. If you want to use Miles' artwork for something, talk to him about it.

Another important point is that the majority of these pictures are small details of larger paintings. Miles puts a lot of thought into the composition of his works, and these pictures throw all of that out the window. I think it's really interesting to get to see his work close-up, but keep in mind that there's much more painting outside the frame of the photo.

Oh, and also: these pictures are sucky & the color is all off. Don't hold it against Miles.**

Without further ado, the pictures:

The frame that chiki carved (these pics don't do it justice):

















I bought this one!!! I especially loved it because it reminds me of my Hukilau sister, Inky Louise:

Assorted tikis scattered around the gallery (these are always there, be sure to pop in and have a look if you're in the area):





Benzart made this cool pendant for Miles, it runs on batteries, and that black tongue is an on/off switch. I've seen a few of Benzart's pendants in person now, and I have to say that their quality is even more striking when you see them in real life. Fantastic!

There are more photos here:

I had it all backwards -- the best bed is the one that's stumbling distance from Tiki-Ti, or the Mai Kai, or the Lagoon Room, or the Alibi, or the Kon Tiki, or...
Critiki
