Carving is fun! every time I do one, I learn a new trick.

The gang so far. The little guy is a blood tiki. Taught me a lot, that little guy.

Finger got cut. Finger got better. Jen made me get some safety gear. She's good like that.

This one I tried to do super clean. I think it came out like 3 tikis in 1. While starting #4, I cut my finger pretty good and will have to stop for a few days. For those of you who have shown interest in buying them, I am sorry to say I've decided to hold on to them until Tiki Oasis in August. I will put them up for sale after that, if they don't sell there.

This is a little rougher, but with more detail. It is actually a salvaged and completed carve from several years ago. I think it came out okay.

My buddy Josh and I are heading to Tiki Oasis this August. I felt inspired to begin carving again. I decided to make garish color choices and perhaps peddle them while we are there. I assume they will get both better and easier to carve as I proceed. Knock on wood.

"Villain" a show I will be participating in.

Some artists I really love and admire are in the show as well, you should check it out. Plus, shows at the awesome Mission Comics always rock. They put you in the heart of the Mission, one of the best eating and drinking hoods in San Francisco. I hear the tot bar at "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem" is pretty awesome. Plus, there's usually snacks and booze, but it runs out pretty quick.

Hope you can make it,

Jason
