This lil ku tiki was not fortunate enough to be born with the fancy headdress of the lono tikis he admired so he decided he would build his own out of bamboo.. (littlelosttiki is working on a more detailed and exciting story for you ,but for now thats all I got).I present to you."wanna-be-a-lono"

mahalos..kirby

Absolute Genius, Kirbs!

An small illustrated storybook to go along with this piece would be a wonderful paring!

That break you took really recharged the creative electrons... this piece is over the top cool!

BD

sweet piece kirby. love the ingenious use of bamboo on your guy. can't wait to hear the "real" story behind his headdress.

bd

Great stuff kirby! I'm still diggin that pendant you gave me in '07! It hangs in my office, so I see it everyday....

T

Nice headdress on that guy, and I am digging his bamboo necklace too. I never thought I'd see a poser tiki.

sam... nice to hear from you man and im glad you still have that pendant, you r on a nice start in your carving career, keep it up..

Wanna-be-a-Lono.....
Perfect twist on the standard KU....

High concept in low-brow art. Be careful, you might hurt yourself.

Two semi-opposable thumbs up.

Grog,Does two semi-opposable thumbs up = One fully opposable thumb up..In that case Im only counting that as a half of a compliment...

These aren't the same ones that are in the TikiYaki flight package. Anyways, totally sweet. Great marketing tool. Too Bad GM didn't have Kirby on their side.

is there one than one ( looks like wood?)

What size memory stick is in there.

Any price points on that yet. (includes both albums) I don't have the first album, but will soon have the second. I do like what I have heard on the first. Can listen to them from the website.

Teakey.. Its cast resin, actually its a re engineered version of the jet pack tiki pendant so that it will hold the flash drive,(that was the hard part).So yes there will be more than one. how many or at what price, I dont know yet.Still working out the details.Ill keep you posted..

S

Very cool and that is one kick ass carve you have over the thumb.

Slick idea and precise execution, Kirby!

Congrats on getting in on that great collector's package with some great carving skillz!

What can't you do? I'm impressed. really impressed!!!!!

How many tikiyaki things am I going to have to buy now???? Huh????

T

How cool is this ?

This will be a great desktop item for work, home, school...whatever. We're going to load this baby with cool unreleased Tikiyaki content, as well as "Swingin' Sounds" and "StereoExotique".

It's nice to work with such talented artists with great creative ideas...This will be a must for any computer/Tiki geek.

Yea !

Ahhh, I love the Tikiyaki Orchestra, and I love the promotional push they've been doing. Nice Job, I don't think it could get any better.
