The Lurid low-brow Tiki-Art of Brad (tiki-shark) Parker - Other Crafts

I don't know how you manage to top yourself each time, but that seems to be the pattern. Gotta say I miss the Tiki's "Sneeky eyes" and overbite from the original sketch (my fiancee agrees). Nautilus shell eyes are a great idea but maybe for a different painting. It just changes the mood of the piece too dramatically for me. The original tiki looked potentially dangerous which in turn made me wonder if that sly wahine is offering a welcome drink or some sort of drugged potion! Likewise, Is that party in the background to welcome the viewer as a guest of honor or perhaps they're just happy that dinner has arrived? (...which would explain the hidden pile of human skulls!)
