Basically, this idea came from not having anything TC related at home. Ive got artist prints, mugs from bars, carvings from carvers, exotica records - but Ive got nothing from TC at home. Yet for many of us, TC is our main source of tiki goodness. So I thought how good would it be to have a TC print? A couple of guys on here offered free prints, and I really liked that. The natural progression from that is there are plenty of talented artists on TC, why not have multiple prints and get folks to contribute? That way people can chose a print to their taste, or get all of them.

Thats the idea behind it. The rest I am trying to work out as I go along... :)

So guidelines - no timeline on this, whenever you get a chance. As far as content - it should reflect TC and feature the TC website address or logo clearly. Basically, use the TC guidelines on the about TC page. That still leaves a pretty big range to draw inspiration from! The idea is that by featuring multiple artists work, we get a range of ideas for the prints. If you are unable to inlcude the TC logo (eg. you use a photo) we will work out getting one photoshopped in or something.

A carver might use a nice action pic of carving a log or one of their finished pieces in the garden, a collector might submit a pic of their tiki room with all of their mugs, a mixologist might take pics of their coolest cocktails, or it could even be pics from a contemporary bar or pics from your holiday to the South Pacific (with a nice white sandy beach), or the artists can just paint something up.

Does this help clear it up a little?

As I said, Im still working this out... suggestions, advice and help are welcome!

Can also help with the watermarking/branding in photoshop and making the pdf [balancing file size and quality].

That would be great Tikiracer :)
