Actually Jerome I am a big fan of Herve's work as well as yours and it is fantastic that he commissioned you to carve these pieces- Quite an honor!

Dude, that's a serious amount of work in one post. I'm going to have to go back and look again. I love the framed masks (and everything else)!

Thank's again Chris Y!
Also thank you all: Hiltiki, Big T, Basement Kahuna and nicework! Much appreciated!!! :blush:

Wow! i just realize: almost one year without a post on TC... This year was quite busy and complicated: a new job where I had to learn everything, new responsibilities within my union, other projects that I would like to carry out, and some work in the house. And so a little less time to artwork ... But I still did some carving: :D

Here's an inspired carving from the "heretical carver" by Shag:

Now in collection of Mr Sven A. Kirsten. Thank you to him!

Some pendants:

deer antler TikiBob with ebony eyes:

Koru and Matau from white Corian:

And two fez brooch in Pink ivory with corian inlays for my friend of the Sons of the Desert

A large Kane head on a metal stand:

Carved from willow

A funny piece: Finky Bob:

carved from birch, pine and ebony eyes, corian tooth. Hand painted and patined

A scariest (and wearable) voodoo mask


Carved from plane tree

A Modern-Moai carved out walnut:

And a dog...(It was for a gift, nice challenge and funny to do)

from the same hunk of walnut of the Mod Moai

I've also take the time to finish this large Marquesan started last year during Tiki Pop in musée du Quai Branly:

And carve a big and heavy Tangaroa from ash tree:

Our collective Tiki Tribe has also evolved during this year, we are now a legal association and Oncle Red made us a very nice logo:

A guest again at Cry Baby carshow (5 th edition)I've build a tiki hut for the occasion:

...and we had the honor of awarding a prize for the "best aloha style car":

Walnut Tiki as shifter on Hot Wheels 57' chevy pick up. Old oak base
This winner of this award is the owner of a nice 3100 chevy with home made bamboo interiors. (Sorry, I don't find any pictures... Damn! I must store that mess)

Another funny experience this past year:
Hand carved smoking pipe:

Here's my first in marquesan style:

Carved out rough pipe in high quality briar burl from a master pipe maker of Saint Claude

The second, figured a Moai, was commisionned:

Next was in maori style with mother of pearl inlays...

...and one figured Kukailimoku:

The last (at this time), also in marquesan style was commissionned by canadian tattoo artist:

Last news, after some evenings of work (I'm not a geek) it's the first days of my new webstore:
http://laojia.bigcartel.com/
There are still some details to settle appearance but it works already well...

Thanks for looking!
Have a nice day!

Jérôme.

Wow... No post from me here for long time...:-?

Lot of change in my life since... almost 4 YEARS!!!

But I always take some time to make Tiki or other things! :D

Throwback of four years of carving and creating:

First this massive frame with one of my favorite theme:

Whale carved from bone, ebony eye and squid carved from boxwood,eyes made from ebony and horn

A tekoteko:

Walnut, paua, bone and ebony

A marquesan adze:

Made from a branch of accacia,obsidian blade


On a walnut/plexyglas stand

Kukailimoku:

Walnut (again...)

Something weird: inspired by the work of Jesper Bram

And another version with kavakava, skull and mod moai

Both are basswood, corian and acrylic

I've also made some t-shirt with a friend:

Funny session!

A mod Moai (with the test print for the tshirt framed):

A couple of Marquesean mask

A couple of candy skull for an exhibition around the day of the dead:

A head carved on the style of Modigliani wearing Ta moko

A cool marquesan:

A classic:

Mini wharenui maori inspired carved from hondurian mahogany:

With lot of détails:

Adze made of bone and pounamou

To be continued...

Thanks for looking!
Have a nice day!

Jérôme
