As announced on March 28th, Critiki now has Image Galleries, where you can see images with a common theme all together.

Moai

Today's new image gallery is Moai. The curious "big stone heads" from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) have appeal both for their pleasing graphic simplicity, and their mysterious origins.

This is the last of the image galleries... for now. More galleries will be created in the future, including more galleries of tikis (grouped by Oceanic art style, and by tiki carver).
