G GMAN Member My Island Joined: Jul 14, 2005 Posts: 2999	G GMAN Posted posted on Fri, Oct 19, 2007 4:48 AM Hey guys, The clothes were a joke; the socks, the flips, the shirt. If I dressed like that I would have to kick my own a$$. I just wanted to play with the Tiki Guy pendant and he said "Tiki Guys" dressed like that. No, I am not a space traveler, but I do know one and he came and saw me yesterday, today. Yes, people are sending me tikis/carvings just so I can take pictures with them. It is a good gig. As for painting the man-room dark; no way Jose. This is not a "tiki-room" like some folks home bars. I like primitive anthropomorphic sculpture not bars and stuff and lighter walls are best for viewing and displaying sculpture. My house is all designer painted/papered - I no mess with it. G-bling

I am now computerless aside from my work machine - and I can't upload pics from here. Sorry. I'm shopping for a new machine but it may take a little time to get it, get it set up, and figure out how to bybass all the new whiz-bang stuff. I mosty sanded and did some fine tuning on the big guy, so there wasn't much that pics would show anyway. Sorry. -G

I'm a big old 38 now....but I feel more like 90 - uughhh. Here are some pics for you crazy catz. I missed you all too. I'm not sure how long this frankenputer will run so best hurry up..... Here is some progress on the big "Maori-inspired figure." I have just started blocking in the surface carving and have a long way to go, but I'm sure you can see where I am heading. -G$

The degree of Difficulty in this is unnerving, that cedar being so chippy and of course all the detail under the arms and hands where you can't reach with your chisils! SO HOW did you DO it? You Must have a Miniature helper like trained termites ??Huh? Spill it! Much Respect sir!

Fballs - Slammin' aye? Let's hope I can keep going on him. Thanks. SeekSurf - I dunno about outdoing myself; but I do try to keep moving forward. Thanks for looking. Benz - Chippy? Don't you freaking know it! Talk about unnerving....the work on the Assassin was scary enough, this one has me walking on egg shells. Thanks for the respect :) As for the tight areas....I'm using the hook of course..... Tikisgrl - I had the through the missing feetz shoe shot in there for you because I've been gone so long. Next floor shot will have feetz. Here are a few pics of a Marq hair ornament I carved from a piece of deer leg bone. The bone is from a ten point buck that I harvested a few weeks ago. I cooked a big bone-in venison rump roast and then took the bone out and carved this little bugger. Happy happy. -G
