I am relatively new to tiki myself, maybe a couple of years, but I have always been drawn to tribal art and weaponry. Tiki is definitely an escape from the plastic, consumer-driven, mundane lives that most of us live. Most of us hate our jobs, were raised on T.V., and all had the impression that we would end up much better than where we are today. I was fortunate enough to visit Hawaii back in 88' with my grandmother, and it never left me. When I am upset, I just look at a mug or a tiki I have, and I think about lying in a hammok somewhere in the South Seas sipping a Mai Tai. Tiki takes me to a special place in my head, and calms me down.
