Bai, sorry you can't get your stuff to the show, but Babalu is right, you should definitely put your stuff up when we do the online (part2) continuation of the hand-built art show after the 11th, and specify that the buyer pays for the shipping.

Yes, you should start your own thread in the "other crafts" section, and the title of the post should be By Bai . And then you should post stuff for sale in the "market place" section, and the title of that post should be Buy Bai . :)

MadDogMike won't be able to make it, but we're pretty darned filled up, so we could use the room---especially since BigFreakyDude is Djaying. He takes up alot more space than skinny DJ Lee.

And SQUID not be able to make it either, but SQUID was invaluable in helping GROG get GROG' mugs done, so GROG going to sell SQUID' crap for him even though GROG said GROG not going to sell anybody elses crap. But only if the bastard posts some more pics of crap he'll have available. Where's a pic of that neat-looking 'boat thingy" you did?


P.S. TURN AND BURN BABS!!!!

[ Edited by: GROG 2009-04-04 20:02 ]

crap, crap everywhere, then it's GOOD crap for sure. Bai I was looking forward to seeing your art it's fantastic! Babalu I will see you dude can't wait! :)

Wock the Wabbitt!

Excellent work Grog! Everyone's work looks awesome.
Thank you everyone for your nice comments about my work.
My wife and I are looking forward to Saturday. I carved
up some pendants on Fri and Sat, hoping I can get them fired in time.
MP

Welcome MP, really cool stuff! I'm diggin' the 3/4 view pendants especially the Moai toasters.

I vote with Babalu, some of those look raku? Especially these two.

Babalu like GROG's paper lettuce. I see a tiki in those folds there...can you make-um out too?

Almost forgot, this Lapaki Puka (Rabbit Hole) Bowl will be sitting on top of a table over at the Tonga Hut on the 11th with an "extra special smack down price" tag on it just in time for Easter...You can fill it with my personal favorite if you like, dark rum, a little Manhattan Special Espresso Soda, and a few pink bunny peep floaties - yummy!

That not GROG, but whoever it be, is genius.

GROG thinking about selling origami, and get free drawing with purchase of origami.

And speaking of genius---nice stuff Babs, and just in time for Easter. Can we fill the bowl with M&Ms?

Remember?

These were part of my "2009 Tributes Collection" by Bay Park Buzzy, available at the Tonga Hut on April 11 :

From left to right: Bowana, Bosko, A Moai(because they always sell), the UnMaori traditional Moko Maori, and yours.

I would think that all the artists that are included in my new tributes series, which is premiering and available for sale at the Tonga Hut on April 11, would be honored to have their works tributed by me in a brand new tiki medium. Fine!

You are no longer included in this exclusive list of artists in this series!

You've been replaced by an artist who doesn't feel offended when his work is tributed. In fact, he feels flattered when it happens!

Ladies ansd gentlemen, I introduce the newly revamped "2009 Tributes" collection by Bay Park Buzzy, featuring the inspired interpretations by Buzzy of the work of prominent tiki artists Bowana, Bosko, the Maoi still, because it will sell, the UnMoari Traditional Moko Maori, and 4WD Tiki:

Sorry Kirby! Your limited edition line of pendants has been cancelled. Here's an advance sample I just got in from China:

Instead of throwing away all 10,000 that they had already made, I had them change them up a bit so that they are no longer legally your work (and I can sell them without cutting you in on the profits. Thanks! Turned out even better for me.)

Here's one of my new not inspired by Kirby original tiki pendants that will be available for sale at the Tonga Hut on April 11:

Here's the extremely limited not inspired by Kirby original GROG variation tiki pendant that will be available for sale at the Tonga Hut on April 11:

See you all there!

Buzzy thanks for the tribute, i guess...I thought i would return the favor..
a buzzy toilet paper role drum complete with toilet paper drum head

These will be for sale at the tonga hut art show in kirby,s booth... If i can stay focused, I will be able to produce about 1000 for the show... No need to have them made over seas, I have been eating alot of fiber...
Kirby out!!!

and I don't know if its a coincidence or Ironic or what?
but one of the first tiki pendants I got from Kirby looks like a Baby Ruth er uh I mean turd.

Speaking of crap, Squid going to make it after all, so GROG not have to sell his crap. GROG only sell GROG' crap.

Nice Buzzy drum Kirbs. Nice tribute art you got there Buzzmeister. Ruzic is right, this show is headed towards the crapper.

Well, we had a great firing...the trophy heads, the Kona Platter, and all of Bowana's killa stuff made it through fine. Glaze firing in a few days.

Just contacted this morning...this Lapaki Puka bowl is now SOLD! It's being mailed out today just in time to celebrate Easter at it's new owners home. :)
