Hey Mike, It was real nice meeting you and your wife at the Tonga. Welcome to the "Other Crafts" area...there is always room for another mud slinger around here. Thanks again for the pendant, and I very much enjoy the Secret Society Mug I brought from you. :) Is the main body on this mug of mine an extruded piece? Babs |

I really get what you're doing and like how the quality fundemental design comes through in such a minimal way rather than the usual baroque-level detail that's such a part of lowbrow art. If I had to put a term to it I'd describe your work as "Romulan-polynesian"! |

Jumbo is very cool - is he metal? We need more metal around here to fill in the thin spots. The velvet is very nice too. Your stuff is inspirational in both quality and ambition. I'm glad you knew how to take the Romulan comment, Star Trek had some excellent conceptual designers that tried to express a raw, primitive look for some of the alien species and I wouldn't be surprised if some of their reference was Polynesian art! |

So much good stuff I don't know where to start! I don"t see anything in this thread I wouldn't covet. You've got a great tiki aesthetic going on but my favourite of all is the Secret Society mug - you certainly have a great eye when it comes to design. Keep em rolling! |

i'd rather you build me one of those pinstripe tikis.....how much do you charge and how tall is it??....what sizes and materials can you build it out of....i think it would be cool as a stand alone carving of wood , or foam.... and i won't be at hukilau so i'm gonna miss out on a chance to get something of yours.... |
