I met Tile when I was kiliing time before my flight home. He was sitting in front of the boutique in the waiting lounge penning this amazing image of "Samoa."
It turns out he's quite an accomplished guy. There are wood carvings all over the airport. He's done them all. They are amazing. Highly intricate and huge. It must have taken him forever. His eye for detail is impressive.
Tile (pronounced "tea-lee") was so nice that he gave the piece he woking on. He even signed it me. This was my last taste of the incredible generosity of the Samoan people.
