Well, after moving back to Orange and 3 miles from my studio,
i gave it a makeover and transformed two of the rooms into kinda Tiki-themed ones...
(as much as a cluttered artist's studio can be tiki!)
the first area is in the front/library area...
here's the view after you walk in the door and turn the corner...

Walking in,here's a left to right 180 degree spin...
those are all 40 of my sketchbooks (since 89)
it's great to be able to reference back and re approach vibes..
There's two other shelves on the other side of those big two
(those are my Religious/Conspiracy/and UFO books)
this side is Encyclopedias/World Mythology-FairyTales/Despotism and Warfare/
World history (by culture) Freemason-Cult-Occult stuff/more Ufo's/Erotica/and Plants and Animals....

these two shelves are Oceanic books and reference and Art/Art history books
and a Clysdalle Tiki in the corner!

Here's my Kiegs Paddle...eat your heart out Ernie!!!!!

Here's most of my sad small mug collection...


Here's a view from the curtained storage room..

here's some more mugs and my beautiful Crazy Al Chess Set with bamboo ben chess board! Joy!


so ends the tour of the library....

Next is the TOTAL TIKI ROOM!
where i work whenever I'm not at home or at work...
KNOCK!KNOCK!

C'mon in!

going right to left this time...180 degrees.....


i think I've only bought about 2-3 of the masks
most were gifts from friends and patrons....what a mix!




in the far corner is where i sit on a pillow and work on the coffee table
(unless it's a big easel piece-that's in the (non-Tiki) open area...

here's how it looks when i work at the studio from dawn to midnight.....


Hope you enjoyed that tour! this is a great thread! it's been so inspiring to see how many people
really like to spruce up their surroundings!
