Wow, 4 weeks since I last posted...must be some kind of record? Thanks for all the replies GROG, Maggie, Ben, VanT, Heath, Clarita, Babalu and Kinny!

El Bandito, I'm flattered you chose to make your first post in my thread, even though there's been very little to see in here lately. Welcome aboard the TC tiki train..."We have such sights to show you!"

Prairie jade, I wish it were so, but the first of my 3 shows only just opened a couple of nights ago (in Australia) so it'll be a while before I see the proceeds (if there are any...). Still working on another one to open here in my town next week, then a bigger one "over the hill" at the beginning of March. After that I have nothing booked until September, so look for a whole pile of new tiki creations then.

In the meantime, the shows roll on...I'm thinking I might try and do one or two tiki pieces for this latest one, but no promises - I'm changing my mind on what I make on a daily basis. We'll see what I've got at the end of the week.
I did design myself a new card/logo for my tiki work in anticipation of a big year ahead, loosely based on one of my favourite menu covers in the BoT (apologies for the ugly image compression):

...and while I was searching Ooga-Mooga the other day I noticed something very odd:

I couldn't ask for better company, rubbing elbows with Chongo and Babalu...but where's the mug?!?
