well, the girl I was seeing pretty much bailed. I swear, the crazy useless ones love me, and the nice ones always make an early exit, and that blows! On a lighter note, I feel like this ku is coming together nicely. [ Edited by: pjc5150 2012-05-01 22:59 ] |

thanks guys. the scooter moai was a big hit. A guy saw it on facebook & commissioned a "pilot moai" which will be just like the scooter moai, but he'll be flying a little bi-plane... I'm pretty stoked. My business seems to be taking off...several commissions and a project on Davis Island on the scale of the big Tahitian. it's either a date or a canary...not sure, but it's big, it's dead, and it's beggin' to be a tiki... stay tuned....

It sure is fun for me to live vicariously in Jeff's World, a reality series would be bonus! Scooter tiki looks awesome and can't wait to see how you attach wings to the bi-plane. Great work! |

yeah funny you say that about the reality show...it's been brought up a few times... I'm a crazy person. If I had money and a budget I'd be a very dangerous man. So here's today's score: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bike... 1972 Raleigh Sport 3 speed. I'm putting a lovely brown brooks saddle & matching grips, and some tan/cream tires & clean it up a little, oldschool wire basket, etc...serious gaston/dover treatment, and it will be mom's mother's day present. When I get motivated, I can put together a pretty stylish bike, and this one is going to be stunning. Moms are awesome. It's been a wild year of both big ups and big downs, and had it not been for my mom getting on board with this whole "artist" thing, I'd be out on the streets livin' outa my truck or worse. I'm back on track and catching back up, but I really wanted to give her something nice for mother's day. [ Edited by: pjc5150 2012-05-05 12:46 ] |

yeah Nixxy...I'm on it brother. Waves this week...2 days of glass? anyway, I have cleared most of the bikes out of the dining room and moved my stuff inside. This is so awesome...it's like 12 feet from the couch so I can just constantly be chipping away... the head dress on this ku is gonna be rad! |

thanks Chris...I'm actually pretty stoked on this guy. I did a lot of ku's for awhile & I just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over, so I just kinda stopped doing them for a bit, but during my run in Anna Maria 6 months ago it was my signature piece. But when I really started looking at pics of the actual Ku's, like in Hawaii, it hit me that I really wasn't giving enough. So, my new "bar" is that I don't want to make any "Hawaiian" tikis that would look out of place in Hawaii, or that the Hawaiians themselves would not view as truly honoring their culture. The most important thing to me has become progression. I am consumed by it. Anyway, I need to get started on the next character Moai..."the pilot"... |

hey thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words. So yeah, wow. My head is kinda spinning. One of my buddy's who is an art promoter brought this guy to my live carve gig the other day, and the guy is basically from a fairly affluent family who owns a big surf resort in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, and we're sort of discussing the possibility of moving my tiki operation down there. They've got several hundred acres of exotic hardwoods, and they're pretty much right there in a prime surf spot with lots of breaks. This would basically be the realization of a dream for me. I'm not getting my hopes up too much, and business is picking up, so if it doesn't happen that's ok. But if it did....wow... |

yeah, it seems too good to be true so it probably is. I'm definitely not going to make a big deal about it until it happens. I've kissed plenty of f'n frogs & I try not to ever get excited about money until the check has been deposited AND clears... But hey, I just got my boat back, and I'm way stoked about that...I haven't had it in the water in almost a year...putting the new stereo & speakers in today (since I blew the whole system on the last camping trip)...lots of good times have been had by many on this boat, and everyone is asking me about going, so IT'S ON. Bring on the drunk bikini chicks!!! [ Edited by: pjc5150 2012-05-12 09:48 ] |
