Every Tiki has a Spirit
An immature account of the works of a tiki carver, and a serious account of the origins of the earth and mankind.

This he alternates with a concise mythological blueprint of how this all came to be, and what we were given to navigate our way through it. A book for tikiphiles, mythology buffs, and wood carvers. As color printing is expensive, Mark has created a full color version of Every Tiki has a Spirit and a version in black and white to allow for different budgets.The Autistic Prankster: Enjoying the Fun Side of Autism
