Cindy Crowell, I believe - that's the artist that made him. I've got one, thanks to Patrick from Santa Cruz who gave me his when I coveted it openly. As my kitchen is both tiki and Elvis, my Elviki is quite the bridge. (He, and lots of Elvis in "Blue Hawaii" photos.) (I'm at work right now, hence my inability to verify the name of Elviki's creator. Oh that I could have those goodies with me and turn my cubbyhole or my classroom into a tiki oasis!)

Hey guys - sorry to dig this post out of the way back machine. I came across something interesting at a vintage store and after some research found several threads, including this one, referencing a slightly different design. Does anyone know anything about this one? It goes well with my Velvis and my Elvis Pezley. |

Very cool - I like the obvious "hook" feature of his "hair" so that you can hang him from a clothesline over your bar! :) |

Just adding a bit more information on the carved Elviki as I haven't seen this information on TC yet. This weekend there are two ebay auctions for the carved Elviki that I posted before. I was SHOCKED at the price (I know... people can ask what they want but they will likely not sell at that price). The first was listed for $475 and the second for $1200... WTH!?! At least the $1200 auction provided a little more information. I have looked off and on for more information and this weekend there are two on ebay? And the crazy part is that they are BOTH in Washington state - and I found mine in Oregon. |

just for the record - elviki character is created and designed by austin artist cindy crowell - a number of years back i had a business relationship with her in which i produced the original elviki tiki cast and painted figures as dskdesigns. There was even talk at one point of an elviki tiki mug by tiki farm. I do not have any extras and have not produced anymore since the original run. it was a limited edition. cindy can be found on facebook - anyone interested in anything elviki should contact her. Anyone wanting to pick up the banner and continue where i left off as far as producing anything elviki, she might consider partnering up with you. Elviki is a copyright protected character. |

Reviving this thread to post a picture of the two side by side. The taller wooden Elviki is mine that I found at a vintage shop here in Portland for $30. The shorter is Liza's Elviki. |
