I'm pretty new to TC. I guess my initiation into tiki came when my brother was kind enough to give me a shag serigraph as a gift for Christmas a few years ago. He had it custom-framed and chose a really cool purple-zebra type material for the matting. I think it looks great too, but it's different from your matting. Here's what it looks like:

this one shows a bit more detail of the matting...

He had one of his own framed where the image "floats" on grass.. the kind of grass you see on the tops of tiki bars, etc. It's very cool. (yes - they were framed by a professional, so there is no danger of damage due to the fames, matting, etc.) Another flots on Banana leaves...

He chose this print for me because he's a certified tiki-phile, and my name is JT. I'm not much of a jet-setter though. He had his picture made with Josh Angle and it's taped to the back. It was a terrific gift -it's my first (so far it's my only) Shag print.
