That's a great thread.

I love lots of different art. I of course collect lots of tiki art, I love all the Oceanic arts and try to collect that. I have marquesan tapa painting, all kind of tikis, clubs. I think tiki mugs is art as well....but also some modern tiki art (miles thomson, foamy, Griffin, gecko...), and I love modern art like Biskup, Gary Baseman, Mark Ryden, shag and also Chris Ware, Crumb...I only have prints by those considering the prices.
I love Black Velvet painting, and think that's the kind of art that goes the best with oceanic arts.
I also have the chance to have great museum here, so I really like going to all the different periods at the Louvre (especially the 14th, 15th century to the Renaissance), and one of the greatest modern art museum : Centre George Pompidou.
