Lake? hahahaha Tiki definitely is helped by stuff like the BoT, TC, even well spread artists like Shag. I'm struggling to find other tiki heads to meet up with, but I visit TC and I share space with tiki high rollers such as Benzart, BigBro, Smoggy, Bamboo Ben etc. The fact that these guys take out time to help and assist me with my tiki stuff still blows me away. I create tiki for kicks. I'm not out to make a living out of it. I have a day job I love, I just want a hobby that doesn't owe me much (makes a nice difference from money eating cars... haha). I'd put myself down as a jack of all creating tiki trades, master of none. I have fun, and enjoy being challenged by other artists to improve my art. But I am continually blown away by the flawless art some artists create. Tiki will roll on. It may never be as big as the "old days". But these days are ours - and I plan to make the most of em.
