Tiki art swap # 4 - Vintage poly pop menu cover inspired art - Tiki Carving

So, I'm thinking we'll kick off the next swap straight away, but not have the 'due date' for like 3-4 months time. What do people think of that time frame? Paipo made an awesome suggestion that we go with vintage poly pop menu covers as a theme. A number of people agreed that was a cool theme, and no one objected, so we'll run with that. So the art can be anything inspired by vintage menu covers, whether it be a faux cover for a fictitious vintage bar, a painting of a tiki/bar featured on a menu cover, or a carving based on a tiki on a menu cover. Lots of scope for different styles to suite a wide variety of tastes, and lots of fun doing the research too :D Here's some links Paipo provided to start your homework: http://arkivatropika.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi http://www.tikiroom.net/gallery/main.php/postcards/album01/ For the newcomers the way the swap works is this: The theme is given, and participants create their art and post in this thread. The work should be a new and original piece of art. No prints, no old art you've got siting around you want to offload (because one of the aims of the swap is to be a catalyst for new art to be made). One entry per person. As someone said, it would be too easy for someone to make a heap of pieces in order to get pieces back from everyone. Everyone needs to complete their piece by the due date. No piece, no entry. A draw is then done of all the entrants. Message your swap partner, exchange addresses, and get some awesome art in the mail. note - there's a good chance your piece will be going overseas, so for your own sake dont make it too heavy or bulky to send overseas! HAVE FUN!!!
