Growing up in the jungles of Tahiti greatly impacted the life of Tyler Clair Smith.  All his work is handmade with genuine neolithic materials often used in the tribal dances of his homeland.

• He would really like to marry Mary Tyler Moore (circa 1960's).

• He likes to draw a guy named "Twain" and is developing a comic starring him.

• He is obsessed with combining art and ministry without sacrificing either.

• He is currently developing a website to promote artists who share this obsession.

• He is also developing a flash animated cartoon for the web.

• He will probably never get any of this done.
