Well said Heather!
art is about the artist reflecting the thoughts/hope/dreams/fears of our time-slot here on this earth... Ambassadors,of sorts...

Would love to see how you take Tiki into the political realm..
Perhaps the dilution/wholesale ripping off of a culture?
Modern Interference?
Exploitation of primitive peoples?
Cargo Cults and what they leave in their wake?

i think the best way to go would be to approach the subject as an artist
think about it
and then give it the appropriate subject matter/genre

instead of starting as a Tiki Artist and trying to force the politics into that scene..
unless of course.it is relevant.....

I'm with you in the "easy to digest" subject matter for this genre
only problem is
there's sooooo many stories/myths/legends
that make for masterworks
but go virtually unnoticed by the masses...

Hmmmm...

no decisive answer
a mystery wrapped in an enigma
wrapped in bacon!
mmmmm!

THAT is where our torment and suffering is born,palapala!

We vent because the passion is TOO MUCH for our frail bodies to contain!
