Is it a devolution of the polypop culture or of the artistic items coming from the culture? Polypop may never be a driving force in America as it was in it's heyday, but it seems tiki art and carving has improved greatly with new techniques, new tools, new materials, and the sharing of information and inspiration. I don't need to name artist (for fear of omitting someone) but seems to me TC host the best in stone carving, wood carving, painting, ceramics, PolyPop construction, etc. Blurring the fine line between art and crap.
