I always thought Witco as the boring part of tiki and tiki collecting. Big brown hunks of cut up wood or unrelated topics but that's not to say it was all this way. I think the best part about tiki carving are where people draw their ideas and how that translates. More about the carver and why they have the need to make objects, verses the objects.

But I like what you did with Tiki Modern. Its almost like a full on tiki book (like BOT) aside from Witco and it all relates all back into Witco. I like the connections made. It gives importance to it all on both sides. I consider myself a philosopher of ideas and I think you Bro are the main tiki philosopher. And that is needed. I really like your connection of collecting tiki mugs to head collecting. Helps to understand ourselfs and the head collecters.

I think you made a loving book to the life on one man who gave and took of tiki. The behind the senses work is the best part. All great art book shouldn't do without. Tiki Modern - an art history book.
