How fun is that skateboard, that's so awesome.

Kirbs, that is totally cool! What a neat idea. Maybe you can glue some sand on the other side for grip tape.

Keep carving, but don't give up painting. You do great in both mediums.

No, don't stop painting....just stop long enough to keep carving (without stopping). If you can understand that, you're a better man than me. Where's my drink....

Now did you Paint those or carve them? I think you should either carve them or paint them whichever you didn't do just to confuse everyone. What, Me confused already?
Nice pendants.

I agree with JP. Very cool. Your place is gonna look like the Skipper and Gilligan's hut with all that island-style you're making. Neato! I need one of those!

I am so impressed by the massive range of mediums that your using. Keep it up Kirby.

-Gman

Kirby. you have been holding out on us again. Those tikis look great. Nice carving, nice colors and nice finish. Lets see sopme progress shots next time.
COOL

Fine looking carvings Kirby!

Great stuff, maybe one day I'll own a few.

J

Nice looking tikis. How did you do the stain, unless of course it is a trade secret?
JP

Kirby,

Who cares the style your inspired by as long as you keep turning out super nice stuff like that.

Your carving is tip top.

Whoa, Kirb you're just as proficient with a brush as you are with your chisels. GREAT carvings. MM is right, we're all inspired by other artists and sometimes it shows through. I love the mouths on those.

Okay, sell these bad boys on Sunday, then carve up some more for Oasis...I wanna see tikis EVERYWHERE!!!!!
