I think hearing all the feedback from the original post is indeed a good thing. Brad, you made a lot of good points and I was going to say that the work people do is personal and an attack on their tiki is an attack on them.

Not to say anything more on BK, but I too have been into one thing passionately and it shifts onto different subjects at different times. I'm younger but not as young as you make me out to be. To clear things up.

If we look back to what started us into tiki in the first place, it was TikiFarm mugs and Shag, for me. The History came later. I don't think that TikiCentral is about tiki history at all as it was mention. Its about tiki present and all the people that are keeping to going. It really about the people.

In painting, we all know what a person looks like. Right there in front of you, just draw what you see. Exact copy. Make it so that you can't tell the difference between the painting and the person. It should be the easiest thing ever. A stupid computer print can do it in seconds. Not that easy though. Just because we have a book in front of us or the sketch, doesn't mean we can do what we want to make yet. We all have more tiki spirit than have tiki talent. I think that goes for anyone here.

I too what the good with the bad. If we only showed the good, there would be a large gap in the posts and photos. We would wait to share for too long.
