i wonder where all the artists, carvers, mug makers that post in the tiki central creating tiki forum section are - why arenĀ“t they speaking up about their (undoubtably, by bigbrotikis standards,) UN -tiki art?
flounder. little lost tiki, vantiki,Raffertiki, sam gambino, others where are you????

I must admit that I have JUST NOW seen this thread! I've been too busy anymore to surf anywhere else but in Creating Tiki now and then. To answer the question, tiki art is PART of my art. I don't take myself, or tiki, too seriously (sorry!). I paint what I think would be fun to paint - that, I do take seriously. Very little of my art has any serious message that I try to get across other than to provoke a little humor sometimes. I like to paint crap that reminds me of things I remember when I was a kid. I really like the humor in ToonToonz stuff, and I like the dark tiki art as well. To each his own - just don't show me any Parrotthead stuff! :wink:

By the way, here's my un-tiki Vampira painting I just posted in my one thread in Creating Tiki with all of my art - tiki and otherwise. It's not tiki, but I have friends here who I think probably might find it interesting....
