"I was wonderin' about the intersection of Tiki and ukes. I spotted a couple of ukuleles in some of the photos of tiki collections. "

Well, I have been puttting both in the shaker since 1999. Trying to mix it up. The two sub cultures are (or were) fairly seperate, but doing the same kind of stuff. Conected by many threads, including, but not limited to, Music, Aloha Shirts, cocktails , luau's, and Hawaiiana in general. Also, many Ukulele people tend to collect. I have been using tiki's in my ukulele art, and Ukuleles in my Tiki art for a while now. Here are some examples.

Painting with both a Tiki and a Ukulele..

(lots more on my website, check it out...)
and of course you will find a plethora of Aloha Shirts with both Ukuleles and Tiki's on them.
I think the biggest common denomenator is Hawaiiana.
