I can see your style is very much in the vain of other Florida Carvers ("Wayne Combs" influenced) unfortunantly your work is very amateurish (Your just not there yet buddy, keep up the good work though) Your style is also very cartoonish, which doesn't go down to well with many carvers & others educated in the ways of "Tiki" check these threads for examples of good & great carvings http://www.tikicentral.com/viewforum.php?forum=7&88157 to get an idea of what I am talking about. As such the prices you are asking for your Tikis are really on the high side. keep carving & one day I hope you can refer to this post and tell me I was wrong :) [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2013-02-16 17:12 ]
