Robert, that 3D scuplture/paining is a great idea! (way to rub it in the faces of those of us who can only do one or the other :lol: )

The reverb painting is coming along great too.

Robert, your Moai pendants are great. I got mine a couple of days ago and have been wearing one quite a bit. I like the size overall, they're big enough that like minded folks recognize the Moai right away. And those that don't still know it's a "tiki" so I've had lots of positive comments. Surprisingly it has been women that have noticed and commented the most. I like the natural stone colors best. The yellow one is a bit funky for my taste.

They are heavier than what I'm used to as my everyday pendant (Tikiyaki Orchestra) is wood and roughly half the size of yours. I'm wondering if you can make them hollow to lighten them up. I would wear yours everyday if it was a bit lighter.

The postman was pretty rough with mine and chipped the yellow one pretty good on the forehead and nose. I think they'll be pretty durable for special occasions. I'll match his paint and get mine touched up sometime.

Overall I'm pleased I bought some from you and I encourage anyone who reads this to consider one too.

I'm always thrilled to get more of your stuff in my home.

Thanks Mike! And Chris for the review! I'm going to be experimenting with some resin casts this week. If I can get them to look a bit like the ones you ghave I'll be happy...and they will weigh much less!

Those of you in the South Florida area are not going to want to miss SIMIAN SPECTACLE at Harold Golen Gallery Saturday the 14th. TC'er Doug Horne, Sam Gambino, Anthony Carpenter, Eddy Crosby, Nik Satterfield and myself will have work showing, among others.

Well...kind of I guess, more so that it isn't a Tiki thing....probably the polar opposite! :D

Your ElroyArtspace painting is wonderful, so many special places to look at. That's also a terrific ape show you are doing. We both are having lots of fun.

The new piece is looking interesting Robert! And I can report that your resin pendant is wearing very well so far. Perfect weight too!

Thanks everyone for the comments! My daughters idea was bascially a lone Tiki on a moonlit hill with pale yellow flowers at it's feet. We'll see how it evolves! Here's more!

very cool looking Zero! Is he on a pivot so he rocks back and forth on the ocean? :wink: Can you give a little more information on "dry stone cast on wood" cause I have no idea what that is, and you know me I like to learn the nuts and bolts of how pieces are made.

Hey Tigertail! First I sculpted the Tangaroa, out of Super Sculpey. I then made a urethane mold of the sculpt and made a Dry Stone cast from that. Dry Stone is a gypsum, feels kind of like plaster I guess. I then painted the cast and the piece of wood he's mounted on.
