Kirby's Art.. pg 74 & 77

Kirby,

Killer Tikis.

You are quite the artist being able to fluctuate from one medium to the next.

The tikis you made for the tiki show are outstanding, I wish I was rich.

I agree with both Johns, Fantastic new stuff Kirby. It must be sumthin you are eating, Something's changet, and Look what it does to your art!

thanks guys...Gman..Time?...My pool route is definaltly suffering as a result, but hopfuly I can make up the diferance buy selling this stuff, on that note didnt sell any of the tikis at the show but i did make a couple killer trades. I traded the big squinty eyed guy with the tounge and teeth, for a flaming eyed wall mask, and i traded bigtikidude a small tiki for a 6 foot palm log so it worked out...

Man that Lucky Tiki piece is ya best yet! I really like it, that would look awesome on any bar wall. Nice work dude.

Kirby - that framed lucky tiki is AWESOME. ou should do a couple more of the same style- I think those would sell. I know I'd buy one. Sorry I missed the show, it sounded like fun

Tol' ya I liked that Lucky Tiki. I like 'em even better in his most recent incarnation.

benzart wanted progress pics but I had already started on him whe he said that so here is my newest tiki at the 80% mark..

:) :) :) SWEET! :lol:

-Gman

That's over the top!!

You don't see that everyday. Wait have I seen this ever. Great job. Its the first time that I have seen the teeth carved like that. Is it October 31th yet, cause this is going to kick pumpkin ass.

COOL! Unusual texture style...I think you're on to somethin'.

How tall - it looks very tall.

It is commissioned, for sale or personal worship?

thanks dudes. The texture comes from a #9 curved chisle (the first real chisle Ive ever owned,I just picked it up the other day) Chris Im sure it will be for sale at sum point but Ive always wanted to carve a tiki with lights in it so Im doing it for me first of all, but you know me I try and sell everything...

Thanks Kirby, That's what I'm talkin about. Now we can see how you do it nad wonder where you are going and how you are going to finish it. It's Killer already, and you got More to go??

Great going, kirby! Another killer job....

Awesome Kirby! Cant wait to see that guy finished up and photo'd at night!

Makes me want to steal the idea!. Add a smog machine, put a colored globe on it, put in the front garden and rig it up to a motion sensor. Then when someones walks up to it gets foggier and the light slowly increases in brightness.

That is cool and I am liking it!

wow the glow on that one gives out some MEAN presence - i love it!

and also echoing others complements on the lucky tiki too - excellent stuff

mmm...tiki glow...AWESOME!

Whoa! In Mass. we'd say that was wicked.

here is sumwhat of a progres pic of a new framed tiki thing Im workin on commision...sorry for no earlier progress stages but i just get wrapped up in the prossess sumtimes..

Nice frame. I like the elements.
JP

thanks dude..

you're mixed media pieces are amazing an definetly bring you to the next level

this is pretty much how its gonna look except I think im gonna use a red velvety background like the lucky tiki piece. just haf to sucure it to the back and walla it will be done..

i really like that frame. you should post some how to's.

Kirby- This stuff gets better each time I see it. This hints at Gecko's wall masks (which I've always liked), yet it is your own style, which is cool in it's own right. Great going!

Just awsome. Very, very cool. I really like all the difference in colors between the woods. Are they all different types, or just stained differently?

Kirby Great Job!!! Keep em comming!!!

that is AWESOME!

cool item Kirby...I like the design and the frame and the matting...oh heck...i like the whole
thing...and congrats on having it sold already!

Awesome kirby! youve developed a great style with these mixed pieces. Has hints of witco and something else i cant put a finger on
