To be fair to Tiki Magazine, it being a periodical, it does not have the luxury to distill images from years of collecting down to the very best eye candy, like I can. And the TM team consists mostly of newbies in the publishing field, (as far as I know), who might not all be "Tiki veterans", either.

Also: Writing-wise, TM relies on the kindness of volunteer writers who do their work for little or no pay (at least I did), and who then at least want to be able to speak their part. Plus, the image quality, though a vast improvement since the days of Tiki News, still cannot touch the art book quality of Taschen books. So the comparison might be a little unjust.

This said, I love the fact that there are people like Grog on TC who are not afraid to speak their mind and offer honest criticism, and challenge the Tiki community to do better and greater things.

And TK, there are plans about a TM/Sven Interview...I just can't write it myself :) . But then, I spill so much of my thoughts and motivations here on TC, who needs it :D .
