Thanks Skootiki it was my pleasure, and my van was a lot lighter on the way home so it was worth the trip. Enjoyed hangin' with Hang10tiki, MadDogMike (perfect handle), and danlovestikis (yes they are that nice). I like when it is so hot that your toe and finger nails grow. |

Er, um crazy in a GOOD way MadDog. Thanks Jon, very happy he looks good in the hideaway. I sold both my cannibal pieces I was going to use for the Tiki-Kon event here in Portland so that will be the subject of my next few projects. Already got the sketches done and they will be |

Thanks dudes. Mike I have done the local Elroy show the last 3 years in conjunction with the Tiki-Kon event. Joe is a friend that runs the event and has asked me to do a live carve this year so I am looking forward to that if it works out. Next will be my second attempt at the art swap. My first sketch featuring a sexy Pele Lani straddleing a tiki/rocket/volcano shaped projectile was banned by the local censorship board as being "inappropriate" and "sexist". |

Glad you are back MadDog and will be looking forward to all the calls from the 998! Wendy I will be doing Caliente for sure and will seriously think about Oasis 13 as all the vendors I have spoken to say that is THE event. (although I sure liked the relaxed atmosphere in Palm Springs.) Thanks for going through the thread VampiressRN -I really try to add character and humor to each piece so your comments are appreciated! Got Stu nearly complete and will bring him to the local Tiki Kon event coming up August 4. I will be doing a live carve which will be odd for me as no one ever watches but I am looking forward to it and hope to see some TC people there for a little love. |

hang10 ideas usually come from my lower backside region. pj/MDM I thought having a piece lying on his back would be different. He is in my garage now and I have to tell you he creeps me out whenever I walk past him. He has a lot of empty stomach/chest area so I may add another guy rising from there, but will work out the head first. I will get busy to finish these Atomic Mess. I am looking forward to doing the Gresham Artwalk this Saturday and then Tiki Kon Aug. 4. |

Glad you like fellas, you keep me motivated with your encouragement. I think it was Crazy Al that said if you use your chisels correctly you can by-pass much of the sanding and I took that as great advise from a master. There is hardly any sanding on this piece, just a bit with a grinder then one of those mouse shaped things, a tip from Buzzy. |
