I received my Kanaloa makau and it's beautiful. I never really bought a piece of jewelry for myself (other than a watch), but that's what I think of this piece. |

Hi there Bra, the numbers you gave me are not good, I have tried in vain to get into contact with you. Are you still in buisness? I have sent emails tried different phone #'s everything, I cant get in touch with you. I need the necklace soon for a gift. Since you seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. I put down a large amount for downpayment and would like you to call me. If your going through a bad time, call me bra,let me know, dont leave me hanging and wondering. |

I have just pressed fraud charges on you. Its been over 2 months an no contact from you at all. I have contacted the authoities in your area and also the FBI's consumer fraud divison. I plan to follow this up till either they arrest you or you call me. We could have avoided this easily by you calling me. Now you will have to be looking over your shoulder always. I still dont understand why you did this. But I will get great satifaction when they catch you to prevent you from ripping someome els off as you did me |

I don't know why you're posting this stuff here - if you'd checked the guy's profile and posting history you'd see he hasn't been on the boards for almost 6 months, and you'd also know why. |

This so called artist has finally paid me back. He has indeed seen my post here. The pressure had become to great for him. After 4 months and several calls to law enforcement in his area, he has "decided" to pay me back. I suppose he didn't think I would take it this far, but those of you that know my circumstances know I did what I had to do. There are many talented artist on this web site who are professional in their work and are honest hard working people that I admire greatly. I will continue to support this community and the artist that are here. As they say, one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch. Thanks again to all who helped and showed understanding and patience during this trying time. |

holy feeeeeeeken crap!!! now we are talken!!! TIKI!! sounds like a real Hawaiian story here... great artwork and an artist a little on the fringe..... back when i started reproducing my necklaces ten years back, i thought if i reproduced a Hawaiian artist's work I'd have more success with sales.... I had a contact over on Maui trying to hook me up. His response was that he could never get a hold of the carvers... they were nomadic and in and out of jail... good to know somethings never change. P.S. when he did find one it took 20 minutes to explain my piece was resin not wood.... good to know somethings don't change... [ Edited by: crazy al 2006-09-04 09:50 ] |

Whew! I spent months "soul searching" I guess you could say, and ended leaving many things behind and letting several people down (including myself). Ive realized a new beginning would never happen if the old life wasnt left behind. Im not a new man, but Im a bit improved! Ive missed all of you and as some of you noticed, there was a "Barbara" who left many posts accusing me ripping her off...What a story that is. Under a deadline for the makau (which was for her husbands birthday) I completed the makau and shipped it off wikiwiki using USPS priority mail. Assuming everything was fine, I started closing down the gallery , moving etc. and became overwhelmed with problems and put the cell phone, e-mail and my career away for awhile. Then... The calls started. At first it was just inquiring about delivery, then it got worse. Much worse! the calls started getting a bit ugly and then they got just plain ridiculous and pupule! I was given a deposit of just over $100.00 and shipped out the makau without the balance even being paid! So then theres a message about the FBI, local police and what not...bruddah's and sistah's thats when it got funny. I recieved 3 separte calls stating that the "cops" were after me and I needed to watch my back and the FBI was gonna pick me up, and so on and so on!!! The final kicker was a call from some moke who was obviously a friend of Barbara's named "big tony" or something like that, telling me he knew where I was, who I was and he was gonna get me! Full gangsta style threatening phone call! Laughing but a bit freaked out, I then decided to call da kine cops! Well, Since I paid for insurance and delivery confirmation on the package (which was never signed for!) The police suggested I collect the insurance, refund the deposit and then press harrassment charges. I had all the phone messages and paperwork from the order still and they believed I should definitely follow through with pressing charges but... You know, I didnt have the time or energy to deal with an interstate harrassment case so I refunded the money and wished them good luck... What should I have done? Some people are just Pupule and you have let them be (Although if some moke named Big Tony ever comes up to me, he's gonna get a big surprise from this bruddah!)... My reputation as a carver seemed to be in jeopardy seeing as how three times this year my carvings never made their destination, and people were upset. There are many Hawaiian carver's who have given the craft a bad name but Ive ALWAYS made myself accesible to my wearer's unlike many (805-295-0178 call anytime, see?!). I Also guarantee my work and repair or replace the carving for only the cost of shipping, which NO other Hawaiian bone carver will do!!!So now Im back to repair what damage may have been done but I would like to give truly heartfelt aloha's and mahalo'z to all the Tiki Central ohana for the support and kind words Ive recieved. By you believeing in me, it helps me to believe in myself, again. Please look forward to more work from me and Ill try to respond to any posts or messages (although Im busy with choke orders and new creations!). I cant wait to get back to each and every one of you who supported me with your aloha and prayers during my stint in hell!!! Again, Mahalo nui loa to all of you and Mele Kalikimaka! (a close bruddah of mine pulled me aside one day and said: "You know why divorce so hard brah?" I responded with puzzled " shootz,no?"."Well" he said..."Because its worth it!!!!") |

Welcome back and no worries my bruddah, keep the new goodness coming too. We all support you in your times of darkness and we are happy to see you are back in the light. Perhaps I can acquire one of your wonderful works sometime in the near future. You are a talented carver and we all know it. Peace be with you. |
