I try to support places where it exists (places like Sam's Seafod and Sacramento Hukilau sadly) and try to make it appear where it is not.

Cleverly written letters to cities insisting the Kitsch kicks Feng Shui's ass, and insisting as a tax-payer they take THAT into consideration when designing public buildings.

I've spent days making Snow Moai at Yosemite, just where people stop and try to take thier Ansel Adams photo from the car.

Gifting loud Aloha Shirts to friends in Europe who mostly wear black.

The first theme camp at Burning Man (when it first moved to the Blackrock from the Beach) was Tiki Camp which was my doing...several of us scoured thrift stores all year for cheap mugs (especially the plentiful Trader Dick's ones) and gave them out. Free Drinks, roaring blenders, and propane tank shooting.

Latley it's been mostly sculpting stuff, and making cartoony cermaic masks...Skulls, Masks, Big Leafs, Ships, Rum Kegs, tucans, islands, sailfish, and that sort of stuff. (Slab work it's called)for installation in some spot that NEEDS a tiki theme.
