No other reason at all for me to post this other than I absolutely love this photo of him.

He originally sculpted it for the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland, and when most of the tikis were replaced with fiberglass in the late 60s, he took it home with him.

Did I mention I friggin love this man? Because I do.

I'm tempted to post the Tiki Room chapter of our book here for you folks to read.
