Tiki Bob has become a Tiki Icon because it is inexorably linked to Polynesian pop by its history and context in the 1950s. Can anyone say that about the renderings in the thread I posted?

There are so many examples of new Tiki art done in the early Tiki revival that show awareness of Tiki's history to some degree, however small, while being totally new and unique, I would not know where to begin. Sorry, I have to take a break, it is exhausting to repeat oneself again and again and still be misinterpreted. And thanks for the show of folks who did get me.
