Hey Kirby-
I agree with every comment made. But I really like Polynesiacs advice. I would love to have some more of your ART but I am on a pretty tight budget for the next couple of years. What I do know is that Laura and I really like the 2 Kirby paintings we do have. And eventually I would love to have more. You should come over some time and see your masterpieces in action!!!!
Later,
Spermy

here is a quik sketch for the TC mug contest, I think i have it in the bag , hahah

Damn thats cool. You got my vote if it counts.

T

Kirby, thats a nice mug. Mine kinda looks like it. I did it three months ago. Its just some pionts that are similar, but I like this one. I like the TC too. Best so far. :wink:

I like it better that most of the existing mugs that I have. The slightly off center / asymmetrical look is catching on. I vote yes. Any Ideas of a side view?

Nice stuff. Thats the Kirby stuff I like to see. I know you have prints of your work and I just made my first 0ne this weekend. Original is a 40x30 and the print that I did for my Dad is a 20x15 for 16.00 to print. The paper isn't anything great. I tell you,

Kirby,

I like it. That's a serious pair of legs! Have you been hangin' in the gentlemen's clubs looking for inspiration? :) :tiki:

Kirby, just Look at you corrupting the young Innocent mind of that poor li'l tiki, you should Proud. I'm sure he is one happy tiki. Nice legs btw.

Thanx dudes,You can see my mind has been in the gutter lately...stay tuned it gets worse...

Very cool. Now if there was only a club like that near by..

Kirby, I'm all about legs and love to see them in this type of art. Cool piece, great job. I've been meaning to go in that direction myself.

Cool pendants man. Leave it to Kirby to come up with a cool twist on a tiki.

B

Nice ones kirby, I especially like the 3rd one. It looks the best all around, but they are ALL neat. Well done and for adding the lights? You get an A+ for todays grade.

the 4th n 5th are killer. That's whats so cool about tikis, there are just ENDLESS possibilities.

KK

Aloha kirby brah!
Nice pendants cuz! I wish you could get a tighter, more focused shot of da kine so we can see all the master work on the carving! I like the blinking red eyes! Are they da kine L.e.d. lights? Looking good bruddah, keep up the good work!

Malama Pono!

kirby posted on Fri, Jan 6, 2006 9:05 AM

kaha.. these are sculpted with polimar clay and they are LED lights ,sorry about the pics my batteries died...

KK

Aloha brah!
Oh the polymer clay! You using da kine sculpey 2? I use the flesh colored super sculpey sometimes...Great stuff and if you cure it right, its way strong! I havent used any in years actually as my wife has stolen all my sculpey supplies, hand tools etc. and makes crazy little pendants and things li'dat! So, its all subtractive scuplture for me now but maybe Ill pick up the sculpey again someday!

Keep up the good work brah! I love the l.e.d. bruddah!

Malama Pono!

Those pendants are cool. The blinking lights are a neat idea. Can you get them to blink in morse code such as "my drink is empty"

kirby posted on Fri, Jan 6, 2006 5:18 PM

no morse code but i think they can hipnotize drunk girls into thinking your hot....

Maybe you are on to something here, a whole new "Tiki Rave Club Scene"! Ok, maybe not, but the high tech tiki pendants rock!

Damn, Kirby, we just picked up those logs last night, hell i did not unload mine of my truck until about 1pm today. Nice work, see what you said about obsession. look forward to seeing the others.

Kick ass Kirby ... you got a co-pilot for your buggy.
Nice work .

nice one Kirbs. Looks like that one has a small brain.

GMAN posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2006 5:58 PM

Kirby,

Torture that grinder until it fries. Sure beats stone/shell tools aye? Sorry, I got carried away :) Man, use what ever you have available to do the job, and what ever makes you happy. Sounds like you enjoyed the angle grinder? Maybe we can see more Kirby carvings around here now? This one is slick. I dig his hair and brow. Kirby Rocks!

Kirby, forgot to ask, when are you gonna post a pic of that surfboard with the tropical painting. I think it would be a great submission for that new A Stuart Gallery show.

kirby posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2006 8:03 PM

here you go tanked....Im not sure if im completly happy with this one to be in any art shows ,I painted it a couple years ago but maybye Ill let them see it and who knows...

Kirby, anything that takes off wood & gives you what you want - don't knock it. Being a real "purist" in any sense is BS in my opinion, anyways. Chisels, chainsaws, sandpaper, harsh words - whatever gets the job done! BTW, I really like that your tiki looks like a Kirby painting. No mistaking the style!

kirby posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2006 9:59 PM

AA, mabey Ill just have to throw this guy on a painting...

He carves, he paints, he makes red blinking eye rave party tikis. Great stuff. I like the style with the hair and eyes. What's wrong with power tools?
