Ok, So I took my wife to the Mayo Clinic in Jax, FL. We stayed in a nice hotel, and when I ventured outside to survey the property, (I always tour the property...don't ask) I noticed this Art-decoish outdoor lamp. I snapped a pic and sent it to her in an attempt at getting a smile out of her.

So, later on in the evening, I sat with my sketch pad and toyed with it a bit. It wanted to be a cannibal.

Then this happened...

More to come!

Thank you for browsing.

Mahalo!

Thanks guys. That means alot.

Mrs Tiki and I may end up on TV for Mystery Diagnosis in the near future. Thanks for the well wishes.

As far as therapy goes....yes! It is awesome therapy.

I wish I didn't take a break, but, who knows...it may have been a really good thing too.

Here are the last of the carving/sanding updates until he's stained up.

Thanks again!

Hummm, looking at your designs I can see that I'd like to use a couple in a painting I'm doing right now. Would that be ok? Wendy

McTiki posted on 05/05/2011

I have many that haven't been seen, but are worthy subjects. (I'm a horder)

Thank you!

For someone who hasn't posted anything in years, you don't seem all that rusty. Some really outrageous and fun stuff going on here.

congatiki posted on 05/09/2011

Not rusty at all....good looking tikis with lots of extra details to
make 'em even more fun. Looks like the latest piece is going to have
some nice grain too. Keep 'em coming.

McTiki posted on 05/15/2011

Started and finished some things today....

McPlaque #3

21" x 7" x 3/4" Cedar

after 10 mins of doodling and 30 mins of cutting. Smells so choice!

Details highlighted with Jacobean Stain.

After distress sanding the excess Jacobean, Red Mahogany stain wiped off immediately from the Tiki.

Thanks for looking.

That's awesome Wendy! Thank you!

Here is a Tiki named "McMarcus"
34 inch Yellow Pine

He has Abalone inlays (hard to see with a crappy phone camera) I'll take some cleaner shots after the inlays are permanently mounted.

My Mom was a great artist who handed me tools and shared her perspectives and critique. Sadly, She passed away on the 11th to Colon cancer. If you are reading this and you are fifty or over, get that shit checked! It will save your life.

Trying to stay busy...
