But keeping in mind its title, "The Legacy of Witco and the Tiki Revival", the beginning of the chapter really was mainly there to provide the context for the work of the two main inheritors of the Witco style, Bosko and Ken Pleasant, (who each got two double pages at the end). As I said before, I really believe I should make a "Great Big Book of the Tiki revival" soon, in which I will be able to adequately portray all the incredibly talented and inspired artists and personalities who contributed to it. Here, in this last chapter, I am mainly writing and showing examples of the EARLY Tiki revival, up to c.a. 2003, and I beg forgiveness from all those friends and artists who I could not include because of space limitations. Next, I would like to hear some honest opinions about the book...and for someone to find that one embarassing typo that makes me cringe each time I look at it! :) I am my own hardest critic, so don't be afraid. There is stuff I don't like (like the whiteness) in it, too. Third, I am happy to answer questions, but please peruse the other threads on Tiki Modern first, in one I already explained what I define as "TIKI MODERN" style, and especially READ the damn book itself before you ask stuff, or I might take the liberty to not pay attention. :) [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2007-09-18 12:31 ]
