To put a crack in the dike that will brake open and release a flood of images once Ben figures out how EASY image-posting really is here, I will show just TWO of his fine works: I believe this fine wall hanging is composed out of materials beachcombed from the first renovation of Sam's Seafood to Kona?

Kick-ass pics Ben - Thanks for posting these - each installation a principal example of poly-pop. You are THE prime-mover of tiki installations and for that alone another feather in my cap of things to be proud of from my hometown. I salute you, sir! (oh and keep posting please, we know there's plenty more to follow.) G |

That f'n tiki trailer is f'n sweet! I got a '65 VW bus in "storage." Now I want you to make it into a rolling tiki bar car! You know anyone involved with a car show like pimp my ride or overhaulin'? They could get you and C'Al to do all the fancy tiki stuff on it. I don;t think you'd have a problem with the show deadlines. Probably finish a day early and mess up the "Are they going to get it done in time?' ending. That's always high drama... Someday I'll live in that van; I am sure of it. |
