Ernie, you certainly reeled me back in with such an eloquent and expansive essay, which must get an A for effort and commitment to the cause. I can not just throw my hands in my lap and ignore it, that would be ...ignorant of me. I am going to concentrate on the part 2 of the essay, cause Part 1 is pretty spot on. First off, Grog, what I do not get (and where I felt misinterpreted) is where do YOU get that I am referring to the Tiki Revival AS A WHOLE anywhere, which is what it sounds like when you interpretate me as saying: The only problem is that we are merely copying what was done during that time, and it becomes merely a copy, or worse, a watered-down version of "TIKI" because we are using the Tiki art from the GOLDEN AGE as our source of inspiration.>If you use these books as your source, you can recreate the art from the Golden Age, but it's not pushing Tiki art beyond anything done during the GOLDEN AGE.
