Aloha tiki Tribe~
since I don't wanna show #15 too much, lets jump to #16. 16, hmm, that's about the time when you rip off an old masterpiece... er... I mean you take inspiration form a well known important painting and learn from it's strengths.
So, I took "the Wanderer above the Sea of Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich.. Or is it "... Sea of Fog"? I've seen it called both. Anyways, it's got the word "Wanderer" in it, and I think that's kinda a cool tie to the exotica tune by Eden Abez.

It's a romantic masterpiece. Let's see how I can totally screw it up!

Here's a rough sketch.... It's a different shape, as it may be used for a beach towel design... Switch the philosopher for a surfer...

Here's a cleaner sketch as the idea becomes clearer. Rocks now old stone gods, and sea of fog is a real sea.

Aloha~
