thanks guys!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new abalam mask, Kirby!

Gilligan is sort of tiki-adjacent, so it still fits the thread, and it's a great painting regardless!

And wow, what a non-sequitur, Kinny!

Nice kerb. You are kicking out the works. Man how many hr have i spent
on Gillian's Iland?

Great stuff Kirby! I like that stone texture you got on Mo's Surfing Challenge. So I'll ask, since I know everyone else is thinking it... when are you painting Ginger & Mary Ann?

Not sure how I missed the earlier posts...God knows I spend enough time
cruising TC!
Love the masks, nice work Kirby. Good to see a little paint splashed on
a carving now and then, tastefully done and well studied. Now I hotta make
anogther drink,/

Ahhhh Kirby, my gosh your art is looking even greater these days dang. I think it's all the shading? Top notch dude. I want the "Mo's Surf Challenge! ??? Although .... I'm really liking the shading deluxe on the S.S. Minnow great idea, very original.

Thanks!
added a few more pics to above post..
This guy was a real challenge because although it was carved from one of my oldest logs(2 years+)which i thought would be realy nice to carve, it had a lot of rotten spots that i had to get creative with but it ended up ok considering..

How many skulls can I fit in one tiki pendant?..answer..so far 8, but I think I can beat that record someday!




Sometimes I start carving a tiki with no idea of where I am going with it! This leads to some interesting designs... This is one of those tikis!!

Kickin ass Kirby!

I like this guy, and its cool how you can just freestyle like that and get a great result.

I gotta let go more, I stress so much trying to match the picture in my head.

Is this a one-off or are you making duplicates?

That's killer. My hat's off to you for being able to produce a killer design totally off the top of your head. I always get mental block when I try to do that. :lol:

thanks dudes!!
Lake, I think this is just gonna be a one off!!

HOLEE SCHMOKES!
