I loved TikiToa's idea with the shrunkenheads so I thought it would be cool to do one with Moai's. |

Agree with Tiki-Toa, that you should make some prints of the 2nd picture. |

Thanks Benzart, that was very well put. I'm all choked up. I'm also very impressed by the way everyone here accepts everyone elses ideas and art. It's good to be a part of it. |

Yup...probably the only guy who had to buy a spot on the Grand Member roster...lol! Actually, I'm just super paranoid, and I knew that everyone was talking sh*t about me behind the secret veil, so I had to join just to put an end to it!!! |

Bamboo Dude - Doug, I have now entered the secret chamber and entered the ranks of the TC "Grand PooBahs". Funny, I thought the Grand Member thing was automatic when you made about 10,000 posts! Little did I know that you really do have to bribe Hanford! It's well worth it though if it keeps this place running. I think I have to wait for my credit to clear before I can enter the secret chamber, though. Jade, I have really admired your work, what I have seen on TC. Incredible detail and style! Aaron |

I, as well, have a moai as my first attempt at tiki "art." Here's ol' Crackhead: He's a little fella carved out of some unknown found by the road wood that is as hard as tempered steel. Fear not, professional carvers! I am HIGHLY unmotivated and this little bugger took me at least two months to complete, averaging two to four minutes a day of carving time before I got distracted. I've got a couple other pieces on the ultra mega slow assembly line. They should be done within the next few months. Or so... :) |

That's kool, Kono. Kind of has a kitschy "Herman Munster" feel to it. Even more appropriate since it was carved from spare wood found on the road. It's got great campiness to it! |

FinkDaddy, That's a bad ass bar! I haven't the time right now to drag out any of my Moai, but here's a doodle I did while on the phone at work and a recent (well at least from this year) pic of my unfinnished Moai-inspired fire pit.

I get it now. The connection between fez/Shriner/tiki... these guys were found in line, like they were facing a bar. The wooden bars deteriorated ages ago and the early explorers pinched the glasses. |

Thank you. Ah, I'm cheating these days. I'm taking the ink work and scanning it, then putting the colors in on the machine. 15 years of working on a Mac have eroded my manual skills. I want some nice, vibrant inks (not to be found in this neck of the woods) – but I'll probably get impatient and use watercolors. Still looking for a style. All the artists and carvers in these "Creating Tiki" threads, just blow me away. Phenominal stuff in here. |

foamy, that's nice work. I know artists who do the ink work, copy it with a printer, then paint watercolors onto the copy to avoid the ink running. |

Hey Sam, thanks, and that's a clever idea. What kind of paper do they use? I've got an ink jet, would that work? When I've painted over ink before I've gotten a kind'a red-ish bleed around the ink lines. The printer idea is something I'd like to try. Any more info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

This is too good of a thread to let die, so here is another older one. This is called "The Boardwalk at Andrewville" It's 24 X 48, acrylic on canvas as always. |

Seamus your concrete Moais are really getting nicer and nicer. You are getting fancy with the finishes and thay look great. I think you will sell a lot of those lamps. |

Thanks rodeotiki. I'm liking yours too. Hey Joe V. what's yours made of? For a long time I have envisioned getting concrete guys all smooth and glossy like car paint. I really like it- whatever it is |

Cool work, rodeotiki - and great for utility purposes too! Hey Joe V., that's one fine Moai... I too really like the high gloss finish it has. You need to post more often. |
