Tretchikoff's Exotica girls have, because they were sometimes used in Tiki Bars. I have one in my bedroom right now ! (A print, not the girl) And I value Tikiwahine as a quality contributor to TC, too, but in this case her motives were no less commercial than Tiki Bill's. I have spoken. :D Big Bro, whether TW's objectives were commercial or not, it's never cool to be a dick. And since Tretchikoff did make paintings of Exotica girls, and TW is offering a SIGNED tretchikoff print, I'd think it's of interest to a tiki collector, just as a signed copy of Martin Denny's "A Taste of Honey" with a perfect cover might of interest to an exotica LP collector. And yes. I'm writing all of this to bump her thread. So my motives were commercial too.
