"I also like Skip's theme allows for quite a bit of interpretation, so I'm all for that, too." Could make for a more "sophisticated" art swap. |

OK, Swap theme is set for 100 Years of Stephen Crane, hope you like it! Art inspired by this Tiki Pioneer and his restaurants. I think this theme is traditional enough to satisfy the traditionalists and broad enough for everyone to find inspiration in any media. Could find inspiration in a post card A carving A matchbook cover A mug Or maybe tiki art that includes Stephen Crane's wife Lana Turner? |

Here's some interesting speculation - looks like San Diego's Humphrey's Half Moon Inn was originally scheduled to get a Stephen Crane Ports o' Call which didn't happen for some reason. How about a "should-a-been" mug from the Shelter Island Port's o Call? Speaking of San Diego, Stephen Crane, and Tiki Oasis - I understand some of the Beverly Hills Luau Tikis went to the Hanalai Hotel, now the Red Lion Inn and home to Tiki Oasis. I wonder if any of the remaining tikis there are from the Luau? [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2017-03-29 09:18 ] |

All right, Grog's in! :wink: :wink: More on Crane (a very interesting character). There's also a great background on him in the new Martin Cate book (also in Sven's books). http://www.enterthetiki.com/content/stephen-crane I'll start working on some ideas... look forward to this one. (Much better theme than Disney). :) |

Here are some threads dedicated to Stephen Crane's restaurants, lots of pics for inspiration Beverly Hill Luau Just to avoid any confusion, the Tucson Kon Tiki is NOT a Stephen Crane restaurant. |

"A young woman raised by gypsies hides a deadly secret which she will do anything to protect." - 1944 (IMDb) And we've got a second start! I had forgotten that Stephen Crane had tried his hand at acting before becoming a restaurateur. "Crane starred in three films, Cry of the Werewolf, The Crime Doctor's Courage, and Tonight and Every Night" (IMDb) [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2017-04-02 15:08 ] |

Go go go! I might start from scratch with a different form since those three mug bases, still sketching out options. Jon, I'll sharpie on some mouse ears on it if/ when I send to Vegas. :wink: And a copy of "Team Rodent," still recommended- get from your local library. |

It is not too late until names are being drawn at the very end! And similarly, no need to commit until then. (I'm still pondering ideas. Probably won't start for a few more weeks.) |

Zero, looks great. I was hoping for that angle! :wink: Got back to the studio today. Trimmed up a cylinder and drew some lines on it...
Cut out another piece, placed it on to get sizing... more drawing...
Added some clay arms and legs, attached the head piece after carving some lines...
It's now propped up on its side wrapped in plastic to dry out slowly. Will post the inspiration soon, just making sure it survives the drying. One overhanging piece can make some trouble. More carving to come. |

It seems to be a file format bug. This happened with my old camera and my new phone. Now I rotate the image in photo program, then copy paste it into a new document, then save it. Aloha :wink: |
