OK I guess it's time I post something here. I've been around for a few years but kept quiet.
My grandparents yearly anniversaries to Hawaii got me started young with shirts and statues and postcards. And of course all the mugs. Over the last 25 or so years my little collection got added to slowly. Until I found the internet and EBay a few years ago. None of my friends shares this same obsession as most have on here.
I grew up in Chicago and have been in the trades since I was 16. I've settled on laboring.
I've done a bit of carving, mostly on scraps. If you ever do some work on a house around the Chicago area and find a little 2x4 or shim tiki in the wall it's probably mine.
None of my friends really get my little obsession, with exception to my 10 yr old niece that has a few Munktiki and Tiki Farm goodies she loves to collect. And my tattoo artist. I've got 2 tiki tattoos That I'll post as soon as I can work my magic with my photo program.
