Don't make it look like Edward G. Robinson fer chris-sakes....

Oh Man! That's it! One of my last Luau Mugs, (my wife said looks like Stimpy) you pegged it! I am going to call it "Eddie"

I have Tiki's that I like, and pass on the ones I don't. I like many different styles, Cartoony and "Authentic". I like the diversity. My own stuff ranges all over in these categories, because Ku (as well as the other Kapu system figures) has already been carved in the Authentic style, so as an American artist, who was not alive or present during the pre Christian days of Hawaii, of which there is no written history, and only a few actual surviving examples, I can only be "inspired". Then again, there are "real" pieces in the Bishop Museum that seem cartoonish, and 90% of my "vintage" Tiki Mugs fall into the Cartoon category. I guess beauty is in the eye of the collector.
