Nice touch with the paint. Even Tiki art evolves I guess. Cy, Laz and a few others are brightening up our world.
What ever happened to McTiki? I really liked his painted panels...

Looks like you guys may be heading for some tropical weather. Batten down!!!

I try to avoid painting when I can. Not a huge fan. This customer wanted green so I hit it with some green stain and distressed it a bit to give it some more character. I wound up having to make the color more uniform ultimately per customer request. All in all it was a fun piece even though I almost killed myself making it.

Good picture,
looks like he's 30 ft tall.
They should make telephone poles look like that.

I like Will's idea...wouldn't THAT be cool?

Thanks Amate. I love that green guy too. I've been on carving overdrive lately. A few fails, a few successes. I feel like I'm learning a lot though. Here is some more:

Here's my first shot at some trad Ku designs. (lots of room to improve):

New Moai design. I took a Moai I hated and reworked it:

Haven't done pendants in years. Not easy.

Love it! Is the color a filter on the photo or how it really looks? If the latter, how'd ya do it?

Keep up the great work!

AlohaTexasTikiCo posted on 08/05/2015

Thanks DH. No filter. I hit this guy with a tiny bit of blue stain. I really like the way it turned out.
