Freddie, thanks...the pinstripes/tattoos came out pretty good, if somewhat nerve-wracking in the execution. This fella was just too plain without 'em.

VanT, thanks for the comps - I love looking at your stuff just as much. In fact I have been looking at your new pieces non-stop lately, especially your stone-look works, although I am sadly slacking in the comment department.

Bullet, I think with your latest acqusition you definitely have the best representative collection of my work now. It is nice to know I have such a strong presence in your Museum of Modern Tiki at Casa de Bullet. Collectors really are the lifeblood of artists...I wouldn't take on such involved pieces without guys like you who know how much effort these pieces take and what they are worth. So, I raise my mug (a Mt. Bumatay!)- to the collectors!
:drink:

I've been plugging away at the next piece for little while today, and unfortunately this one has gone well past the "quiki" stage with a lot more to come yet. He is starting to show a little character and also has a name: "Hua Moa" (Chicken Egg!)
