I feel your pain there, but like you say, sometimes it's for the better when these things happen. You always end up with a nicer piece in a roundabout way. I think it's great you're thinking of a gallery show or similar. You certainly deserve it, and if I were a gallery director I'd be leaping at the chance. I'm sure anyone who is on your infamous list will understand that you need to do what is best for you and your art. Having recently finished a long stretch of making stuff entirely to other people's specifications, often the same pieces week in and week out, I can fully sympathise. (NB: this is referring to my non-tiki stuff!)
