Thanks. That GROG fourth version. About 12 hours invested in this drawing. Maybe another 15-20 hours for color, and it'll be done.

From the very final episode:

Bahula Humba! (or Bahoola Humba).

The ordering ritual would be to come up to the bar and shout, "Bahula Humba! Bahula Humba!"

To which the bartender answers, "Bahula Humba, what?"

Yes, I watch too much Gilligan's Island.

I love "Minnow's Downfall" or "Suffering Castaway"

Super excited about this theme show! Tikiyaki and Gilligan art! Can it get any better? I think I remember Bob from Oceanic Arts saying he supplied materials for the Gilligan's Island. Can anyone confirm this?

Cant wait to see what you're gonna bust out Chris!

Love the cocktail names so far...they're making me thirsty. Here's a few more:

• Kupa-Kai swizzle
(from the name of the headhunter tribe that gilligan thought he was a descendant of)
• Savage Merubi (name of the tribe in episode where the skipper and gilligan set off on a raft)
• Two On a Raft (after the name of the episode)
• Mosquito (the rock bad that comes to the island)

Those still aren't as good as the other Ned posted, but oh well

In progress shot. About 12 and half hours of painting to add color. Probably another 8 or 9 hours to finish.

kirby posted on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 4:42 PM

I am working on a very special pendant for the event, It is "KONA GOD OF EVIL" From the episode 10 or 11 "Waiting for Watubi" All Gilligan/Tiki Fans should know this episode, If not we are planning on playing it before Tikiyaki goes on..I am hopeing to have at least 50 availabe..I will keep you posted on the progress..

I havent had a chance to research it yet ,but I would assume that since oceanic arts did alot of the decor for the show this could be an OA tiki.If you have any info please chime in!!

That's an awesome pendent Kirby, looks just like the real deal :)

Shouldn't that be "Mai Little Buddy"?

Hey Kirby, great idea. Here is my "Kona, the bad luck Tiki", it has lathe marks on top, so it was mass-produced, maybe not even carved by Milan Guanko, just based on his style.

I always thought that it was sold at Sea & Jungle, they sold more of the smaller table Tikis for the general public back then.

kirby posted on Tue, Oct 5, 2010 5:45 PM

That is realy cool sven, You should bring that to the show and we could have Watubi come and do a ceremonial Kona's Curse removal!!

Yeah, with him showing up again in unexpected places...

Like at the bottom of THIS thread (!!!):

http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=2233&forum=1&start=last&58

This is just too cool, I had to put the three next to each other, in order of evolution:

From apartment Tiki - to mass produced table top Tiki - to T.V. star - to Kirby's Tikiyaki pendant! The story of a Milan Guanko carving. :)

I have had this guy for years, and knew of the Gilligan connection, but always thought it to be just a Guanko-STYLE Tiki - not the exact copy of an existing one!

[ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2010-10-05 22:19 ]

By the way, the inward-bent knee, hands in lap "I've-got-to-go-peepee" posture is not just a joke, but based on Vanuatu fern wood carvings.

Here's one at the Bowers Museum:

Bigbro,

That is too cool, thanks for putting the three pics in sequence. I didn't realize the connection when I first saw that photo.

JOHN-O posted on Wed, Oct 6, 2010 8:28 AM

Is "Kona" a made-up Tiki god by Milan Guanko or was this based on a specific idol that has Oceanic roots ??

I'm assuming it's the former.

[ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-10-06 08:39 ]

Nonono, the moniker "Kona the god of Evil" was made up by Sherwood Schwartz ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_Schwartz ), writer/producer of Gilligan's Island AND the Brady Bunch. I mixed up the two Sherwood Schwartz Tikis above, calling him bad luck Tiki, which should be reserved for the Brady Bunch one.

In "Waiting for Watubi", Kona is found by Gilligan and deemed as carrying an evil curse by the Skipper, who is befallen by a series of mishaps, and tries to rid himself of the Tiki, but it always pops up again and makes him freak out. One of only TWO Tiki-containing episodes of the Gilligan series, it is required viewing for the Tikiphile!

Just found a better plot summary that I had posted a couple of years ago:
